What the company said:
Dilip Shanghvi, managing director at Sun Pharmaceutical, said the company's performance over the previous fiscal year was marked by "well-rounded growth," with several businesses including those focused on specialty markets, as well as the India and emerging markets, continuing "to progress well." He added "we are committed to continue scaling it up," adding that Sun Pharma's acquisition of Concert Pharmaceuticals, though which it obtained the oral JAK 1/2 inhibitorJAK 1/2 inhibitor deuruxolitinib, will help bolster the company's dermatology portfolio and "become a leading product to address highly unmet need in alopecia areata patients."
The performance was driven by a strong ramp up in its specialty portfolio in the US and global markets, and supported by strong growth in the domestic formulation business and other emerging markets.
