PPL is going through lot of challenges right now. Keep your expectations low & make your investment decisions based on entry valuations,ability to suffer& wait.
1.Inflationary raw material & energy prices.This will continue as per managmnt
3. Overall fixed cost is higher in overseas facilities. They'd acquired some overseas facilities for CDMO & revenues were not up to the mark than they had expected.
As the revenue increases,margins also increase.
No plan to increase the share of manufacturing from India.
4. In consumer products, they were reinvesting the profits back into the biz. So consciously, they were keeping this at EBITDA-neutral & they were spending more on sales promotion.
This will continue for few more yrs & don't expect the profitability to jump up immediately.
Voluntary licensing agreement by @ViiVHC with @MedsPatentPool will enable generic manufacturers to produce low cost version of injectable using patents of Viiv.
Earlier, Biocon hasn't had direct commercialization & supply chain in Developed Markets. They had partnered with Viatris (Mylan) for that.

There was something very striking.
I had expected the CMS commercialised molecules revenues to go up. But it was kind of flat/ degrowing.
