Going ahead, in the near term, we expect revenues, EBITDA and PAT to
grow at a CAGR of 16%, 17% and 19%, respectively, in FY16-19E.
However, from a long term perspective, we believe the company is well
poised to grow at a healthy rate given the strong US pipeline, vast
experience and good understanding of the US market, continued traction
in Indian branded formulations with higher chronic focus and
improvement in the Japanese market, which is perhaps the only
geography where there is a scope for improvement. On the R&D front, we
see the composition spend tilting towards NDDS, NCEs, biosimilars from
the current ANDA/NDA albeit gradually to prepare for the scenario
beyond 2020.
