1. Opening Hook
So while the market was busy arguing about US rate cuts and pharma price erosion, Senores quietly dropped a Q3 that looked less like an earnings call and more like a flex reel. Management walked in with charts, ANDAs, and confidence levels that screamed, âWe warned you last quarter.â
Revenue jumped, margins expanded, and PAT doubledâagain. Somewhere in between, they casually acquired a US FDA-approved plant, added five ANDAs, and still had time to talk about cash flows improving.
This wasnât a âgreen shootsâ story. This was a âtractor already crossed the fieldâ update. And if you think Q3 was peak performance, management hinted that Q4 might quietly outdo it.
Read on. It genuinely gets more interesting as the call progresses.
2. At a Glance
- Revenue up 64% YoY â Apparently, growth guidance was not a suggestion, but a deadline.
- EBITDA up 86% YoY â Operating leverage finally clocked in and didnât ask for overtime.
- EBITDA margin at 30.9% â Costs behaved. Management noticed. Investors smiled.
- PAT up ~85% YoY â Doubling profits is becoming an uncomfortable habit.
- Operating cash flow âš51 Cr (9M) â Growth without cash burn? Pharma rarity unlocked.
