in our generics medicines business: consolidation of our customer base and commercial alliances among our customers; the increase in the number of competitors targeting generic opportunities and seeking U.S. market exclusivity for generic versions of significant products; price erosion relating to our generic products, both from competing products and increased regulation; delays in launches of new generic products; efforts of pharmaceutical companies to limit the use of generics including through legislation and regulations; the difficulty and expense of obtaining licenses to proprietary technologies; returns, allowances and chargebacks; and investigations of the calculation of wholesale prices;

compliance, regulatory and litigation matters, including: uncertainties regarding actual or potential legal proceedings; costs and delays resulting from the extensive governmental regulation to which we are subject; the effects of reforms in healthcare regulation and reductions in pharmaceutical pricing, reimbursement and coverage; governmental investigations into selling and marketing practices; potential liability for patent infringement; product liability claims; increased government scrutiny of our patent settlement agreements; failure to comply with complex Medicare and Medicaid reporting and payment obligations; and environmental risk;

current challenges associated with conducting business globally, including uncertainty regarding the duration of military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, its magnitude and its adverse effects or economic instability, major hostilities or terrorism;

other financial and economic risks, including: our exposure to currency fluctuations and restrictions as well as credit risks; potential impairments of our intangible assets; potential significant increases in tax liabilities; and the effect on our overall effective tax rate of the termination or expiration of governmental programs or tax benefits, or of a change in our business;

compliance matters, including lapses by our U.S. or overseas employees, third-party distributors or marketing and distribution agents in complying with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other worldwide anti-bribery laws, which could result in adverse consequences to us, including without limitation causing us to be subject to injunctions or limitations on future conduct, to be required to modify our business practices and compliance programs and/or to have a compliance monitor imposed on us, or to suffer other criminal or civil penalties or adverse impacts, including lawsuits by private litigants or investigations and fines imposed by local authorities;

risks of reputational damage and other adverse effects in the event of inadequate performance and management of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) and climate change topics; and

Basis of preparation of financial statements

Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (hereinafter referred to as the “interim financial statements”) are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. These interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 23, 2025.

Material accounting policies information

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2024 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F.

New Standards not yet effective as on April 1, 2024

Certain new standards and amendments to standards are not yet effective for annual periods beginning after April 1, 2024 and have not been applied in preparing these interim financial statements that could have potential impact on the interim financial statements of the Company are:

IFRS 18, “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial statements”, a comprehensive new accounting standard which replaces existing IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”, carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1 unchanged and complementing them with new requirements. New requirements of IFRS 18 include mandates to:

present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss;

provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the consolidated financial statements; and

improve aggregation and disaggregation of information in the consolidated financial statements.

This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier application is permitted, but will need to be disclosed. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 18 on the interim financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 for Classification and Measurement of financial instruments

On May 30, 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”, and IFRS 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, relating to the classification and measurement of financial instruments, which:

clarify a financial liability is derecognized on the 'settlement date' - i.e., when the related obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires or the liability otherwise qualifies for de recognition. They also introduce an accounting policy option to derecognize financial liabilities that are settled through an electronic payment system before the settlement date, if certain conditions are met;

clarify how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) linked features and other similar contingent features;

clarify the treatment of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments; and

require additional disclosures in IFRS 7 for financial assets and liabilities with contractual terms that reference a contingent event (including those that are ESG-linked), and equity instruments classified at FVTOCI.

The amendments are effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2026. Early adoption is permitted, with an option to early adopt the amendments for contingent features only. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 on the interim financial statements.

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2024. Subsidiaries are all entities that are controlled by the parent company. Control exists when the parent company (i) has power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee), (ii) is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and (iii) has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity.

The Company re-assesses whether or not it controls a subsidiary if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in these interim financial statements from the date when the Company obtains control and continues until the date that control ceases.

Changes in ownership interests:

Acquisition of some or all of the NCIs in an entity and changes in the interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as a transaction with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders. Consequently, the difference arising between the fair value of the purchase consideration paid and the carrying value of the NCI is recorded as an adjustment to Other reserves that is attributable to the parent company. The associated cash flows are classified as financing activities. No goodwill is recognized as a result of such transactions.

Profit, loss, and equity attributed to NCIs in subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated interim income statement, consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income, consolidated interim statement of changes in equity and consolidated interim statement of financial position, respectively.

Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)

Basis of measurement

These interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention, except for the following material items in the statements of financial position which are measured on the basis stated below and in accordance with the respective accounting policies:

derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value;

financial assets are measured either at fair value or at amortized cost, depending on the classification based on accounting policy;

long-term borrowings are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method;

equity-settled and cash-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value on the grant date and the reporting date, respectively;

assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of business combinations are measured at fair value on the acquisition date; and

contingent consideration arising out of business combination are measured at fair value.

Convenience translation

These interim financial statements have been prepared in Indian rupees. Solely for the convenience of the reader, these interim financial statements as of and for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 have been translated into U.S. dollars at the certified foreign exchange rate of U.S.$1.00 = Rs.85.55, as published by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors on December 31, 2024. No representation is made that the Indian rupee amounts have been, could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at such a rate or any other rate. Such convenience translation is not subject to review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these interim financial statements, the judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2024.

Segment reporting

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by operating segments. The CODM reviews revenue and gross profit as the performance indicator for all of the operating segments, and does not review the total assets and liabilities of an operating segment. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is currently the CODM of the Company.

The Company’s reportable operating segments are as follows:

Global Generics;

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (“PSAI”); and

Others.

Global Generics. This segment consists of the Company’s business of manufacturing and marketing prescription and over-the-counter finished pharmaceutical products ready for consumption by the patient, marketed under a brand name (branded formulations) or as generic finished dosages with therapeutic equivalence to branded formulations (generics). This segment includes the operations of the Company’s biologics business and the portfolio of consumer healthcare brands in the Nicotine Replacement Therapy category (the “NRT Business”) recently acquired is also included in this segment.

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients. This segment primarily consists of the Company’s business of manufacturing and marketing active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates, also known as “API”, which are the principal ingredients for finished pharmaceutical products. Active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates become finished pharmaceutical products when the dosages are fixed in a form ready for human consumption such as a tablet, capsule or liquid using additional inactive ingredients. The Company also serves its customers with incremental value added products, including semi-finished and finished formulations, which are included in this segment. This segment also includes the Company’s pharmaceutical services business, which provides contract research services and manufactures and sells active pharmaceutical ingredients in accordance with the specific customer requirements.

Others. This segment consists of the Company’s other business operations, which includes the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Aurigene Oncology Limited (“AOL”) (formerly Aurigene Discovery Technologies Limited) and SVAAS Wellness Limited (“SVAAS”), and the Company’s Proprietary Products business. AOL is a discovery stage biotechnology company developing novel and best-in-class therapies in the fields of oncology and inflammation. AOL works with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies through customized models of drug-discovery collaborations. SVAAS is in the business of providing digital healthcare and information technology enabled business support services. The Proprietary Products business focuses on the research and development of differentiated formulations and is expected to earn revenues arising out of monetization of such assets and subsequent royalties, if any.

The measurement of each segment’s revenues, expenses and assets is consistent with the accounting policies that are used in preparation of the Company’s interim financial statements.

Each American Depositary Share (“ADS”) of the Company will continue to represent one underlying equity share as at present and, therefore, the number of ADSs held by an American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) holder would consequently increase in proportion to the increase in number of equity shares. On September 12, 2024, the approval of the shareholders of the Company was obtained through a postal ballot process with a requisite majority. Consequently, the authorized share capital, the paid up share capital and Treasury shares were sub-divided into equity shares having a face value of Rupees One each effective as of the record date of October 28, 2024.

Upon the exercise of such options, the amount of compensation cost (computed using the grant date fair value) previously recognized in the “share based payment reserve” was transferred to “share premium” in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of changes in equity.

Income taxes

Income tax expense is recognized based on the Company’s best estimate of the average annual effective income tax rate for the fiscal year applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period. The average annual effective income tax rate is determined for each taxing jurisdiction and applied individually to the interim period pre-tax income of each jurisdiction. The difference between the estimated average annual income tax rate and the enacted tax rate is accounted for by a number of factors, including the effect of differences between Indian and foreign tax rates, expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes, income exempted from income taxes, and effects of changes in tax laws and rates.

	For the nine months ended December 31,						For the three months ended December 31,

Tax (benefit)/expense recognized directly in the OCI	Rs.	(172	)	Rs.	(69	)	Rs.	(162	)	Rs.	(78	)

The Company’s effective tax rates for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was higher as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily on account of:

the reversal of a previously recognized deferred tax asset on indexation of land, consequent to amendments made pursuant to the Finance Act (No.2) 2024 to the Income Tax Act, 1961 in India;

an increase in the proportion of the Company’s profits coming from higher tax jurisdictions and a decrease in the proportion of profits from lower tax jurisdictions for the period ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the period ended December 31, 2023; and

Employee benefit plans

Gratuity benefits provided by the parent company

In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company has a defined benefit plan which provides for gratuity payments (the “Gratuity Plan”) and covers certain categories of employees in India. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum gratuity payment to eligible employees at retirement or termination of their employment. The amount of the payment is based on the respective employee’s last drawn salary and the years of employment with the Company. Effective September 1, 1999, the Company established the Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Gratuity Fund (the “Gratuity Fund”) to fund the Gratuity Plan. Liabilities in respect of the Gratuity Plan are determined by an actuarial valuation, based upon which the Company makes contributions to the Gratuity Fund. Trustees administer the contributions made to the Gratuity Fund. The liability/(asset) recorded by the parent company towards this obligation was Rs.71 and Rs.340 as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Compensated absences

The Company provides for accumulation of compensated absences by certain categories of its employees. These employees can carry forward a portion of the unutilized compensated absences and utilize them in future periods or receive cash in lieu thereof as per the Company’s policy. The Company records a liability for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The total liability recorded by the Company towards this obligation was Rs.1,123 and Rs.1,205 as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

After the October 2024 stock split (refer to Note 14 above for details), the number of equity shares issuable upon the exercise of each stock option vested and unvested, which are not exercised as on the record date (i.e., October 28, 2024) is sub-divided into five shares and the exercise price was proportionally adjusted.

The fair value of services received in return for stock options granted to employees is measured by reference to the fair value of stock options granted. The fair value of stock options has been measured using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model at the date of the grant. The expected term of an option (its “option life”) is estimated based on the vesting term and contractual term.

The weighted average inputs used in computing the fair value of such grants were as follows:

	November 4, 2024			May 6, 2024			May 6, 2024

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was Rs.520 and Rs.562, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.81 years and 1.86 years, respectively.

⁽²⁾

Certain of the Company’s employees are eligible to receive share based payment awards that are settled in cash. These awards vest only upon satisfaction of certain service conditions which range from 1 to 4 years. A category of these awards are also linked to the overall performance of the Company. These awards entitle the employees to a cash payment on the vesting date. The amount of the cash payment is determined based on the share price of the Company at the time of vesting. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was Rs.891 and Rs.532, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.59 years and 1.95 years, respectively. This scheme does not involve dealing in or subscribing to or purchasing securities of the Company, directly or indirectly.

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions and banks. Derivatives are valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs are mainly interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward option and swap contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing, swap models and Black-Scholes-Merton models (for option valuation), using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including foreign exchange forward rates, interest rate curves and forward rate curves.

⁽²⁾

Fair value of these instruments is determined based on an independent valuation report, which considers the net asset value method.

As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognized at fair value.

Hedges of foreign currency exchange rate risks

The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk which arises from its foreign exchange revenues and expenses (primarily in U.S. dollars, U.K. pounds sterling, Russian roubles, Brazilian reals, Swiss francs, South African rands, Kazakhstan tenges, Romanian new leus, Australian dollars, Euros, Thai bahts, Chilean pesos, Colombian pesos and Brazilian reals) and its foreign currency debt (in Russian roubles, Mexican pesos and Brazilian reals).

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts, option contracts and swap contracts (derivative financial instruments) to mitigate its risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company also uses non-derivative financial instruments such as borrowings as part of its foreign currency exposure risk mitigation strategy.

Details of gain/(loss) recognized in respect of derivative contracts

The following table presents details in respect of the gain/(loss) recognized in respect of derivative contracts to hedge highly probable forecast transactions during the applicable period ended:

	For the nine months ended December 31,						For the three months ended December 31,

Contingencies

The Company is involved in disputes, lawsuits, claims, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, inquiries, investigations and proceedings (collectively, “Legal Proceedings”), including patent and commercial matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Most of the claims involve complex issues. Often, these issues are subject to uncertainties and therefore the probability of a loss, if any, being sustained and an estimate of the amount of any loss is often difficult to ascertain. Consequently, for a majority of these claims, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial effect, if any, that will result from ultimate resolution of the proceedings. This is due to a number of factors, including: the stage of the proceedings (in many cases trial dates have not been set) and the overall length and extent of pre-trial discovery; the entitlement of the parties to an action to appeal a decision; clarity as to theories of liability; damages and governing law; uncertainties in timing of litigation; and the possible need for further legal proceedings to establish the appropriate amount of damages, if any. In these cases, the Company, based on internal and external legal advice, assesses the need to make a provision or discloses information with respect to the nature and facts of the case. The Company also believes that disclosure of the amount sought by plaintiffs, if that is known, would not be meaningful with respect to those legal proceedings.

Although there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of any of the Legal Proceedings referred to in this Note, the Company does not expect them to have a materially adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, as it believes that the likelihood of loss in excess of amounts accrued (if any) is not probable. However, if one or more of such Legal Proceedings were to result in judgments against the Company, such judgments could be material to its results of operations or cash flows in a given period.

Note 32 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2024 contains a summary of significant Legal Proceedings. The following is a summary, as of the date of this quarterly report, of significant developments in those proceedings as well as any new significant proceedings commenced since the date such Annual Report on Form 20-F was filed.

Product and patent related matters

Matters relating to National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority

Norfloxacin, India litigation

The Company manufactures and distributes Norfloxacin, a formulations product, and in limited quantities, the active pharmaceutical ingredient norfloxacin. Under the Drugs (Prices Control) Order (the “DPCO”), the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (the “NPPA”) established by the Government of India had the authority to designate a pharmaceutical product as a “specified product” and fix the maximum selling price for such product. In 1995, the NPPA issued a notification and designated Norfloxacin as a “specified product” and fixed the maximum selling price. In 1996, the Company filed a statutory Form III before the NPPA for the upward revision of the maximum selling price and a writ petition in the Andhra Pradesh High Court (the “High Court”) challenging the validity of the designation on the grounds that the applicable rules of the DPCO were not complied with while fixing the maximum selling price. The High Court had previously granted an interim order in favour of the Company; however, it subsequently dismissed the case in April 2004.

The Company filed a review petition in the High Court in April 2004 which was also dismissed by the High Court in October 2004. Subsequently, the Company appealed to the Supreme Court of India, New Delhi (the “Supreme Court”) by filing a Special Leave Petition.

During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company received a notice from the NPPA demanding the recovery of the price charged by the Company for sales of Norfloxacin in excess of the maximum selling price fixed by the NPPA, which was Rs.285 including interest.

The Company filed a writ petition in the High Court challenging this demand order. The High Court admitted the writ petition and granted an interim order, directing the Company to deposit 50% of the principal amount claimed by the NPPA, which was Rs.77. The Company deposited this amount with the NPPA in November 2005. In February 2008, the High Court directed the Company to deposit an additional amount of Rs.30, which was deposited by the Company in March 2008. In November 2010, the High Court allowed the Company’s application to include additional legal grounds that the Company believed strengthened its defence against the demand.

For example, the Company added as grounds that trade margins should not be included in the computation of amounts overcharged, and that it was necessary for the NPPA to set the active pharmaceutical ingredient price before the process of determining the ceiling on the formulation price. In October 2013, the Company filed an additional writ petition before the Supreme Court challenging the inclusion of Norfloxacin as a “specified product” under the DPCO. In January 2015, the NPPA filed a counter affidavit stating that the inclusion of Norfloxacin was based upon the recommendation of a committee consisting of experts in the field. On July 20, 2016, the Supreme Court remanded the matters concerning the inclusion of Norfloxacin as a “specified product” under the DPCO back to the High Court for further proceedings. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition pertaining to the fixing of prices for Norfloxacin formulations.

Norfloxacin, India litigation

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, a writ petition pertaining to Norfloxacin was filed by the Company with the Delhi High Court. In addition, the Company has filed writ petitions challenging the inclusion and designation of Theophylline/Doxofylline, Cloxacillin and Ciprofloxacin as “specified products” under the DPCO and the related demand notices issued thereunder. These matters were consolidated with the Norfloxacin matter and have been adjourned to March 18, 2025 for hearing.

Based on its best estimate, the Company has recorded a provision for potential liability for sale proceeds in excess of the notified selling prices, including the interest thereon, and believes that the likelihood of any further liability that may arise on account of penalties pursuant to this litigation is not probable.

Litigation relating to Cardiovascular and Anti-diabetic formulations

In July 2014, the NPPA, pursuant to the guidelines issued in May 2014 and the powers granted by the Government of India under the Drugs (Price Control) Order, 2013, issued certain notifications regulating the prices for 108 formulations in the cardiovascular and antidiabetic therapeutic areas. The Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance (“IPA”), in which the Company is a member, filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court challenging the notifications issued by the NPPA on the grounds that they were ultra vires, ex facie and ab initio void. The Bombay High Court issued an order to stay the writ in July 2014. On September 26, 2016, the Bombay High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by the IPA and upheld the validity of the notifications/orders passed by the NPPA in July 2014. Further, on October 25, 2016, the IPA filed a Special Leave Petition with the Supreme Court, which was dismissed by the Supreme Court.

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the NPPA issued show-cause notices relating to allegations that the Company exceeded the notified maximum prices for 11 of its products. The Company has responded to these notices.

Matters relating to National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority

Litigation relating to Cardiovascular and Anti-diabetic formulations

On March 20, 2017, the IPA filed an application before the Bombay High Court for the recall of the judgment of the Bombay High Court dated September 26, 2016. This recall application filed by the IPA was dismissed by the Bombay High Court on October 4, 2017. Further, on December 13, 2017, the IPA filed a Special Leave Petition with the Supreme Court for the recall of the judgment of the Bombay High Court dated October 4, 2017, which was dismissed by Supreme Court on January 10, 2018.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the NPPA issued notices to the Company demanding payments relating to the foregoing products for the allegedly overcharged amounts, along with interest. On July 13, 2017, in response to a writ petition which the Company had filed, the Delhi High Court set aside all the demand notices of the NPPA and directed the NPPA to provide a personal hearing to the Company and pass a speaking order. A personal hearing in this regard was held on July 21, 2017. On July 27, 2017, the NPPA passed a speaking order along with the demand notice directing the Company to pay an amount of Rs.776. On August 3, 2017, the Company filed a writ petition challenging the speaking order and the demand notice. Upon hearing the matter on August 8, 2017, the Delhi High Court stayed the operation of the demand order and directed the Company to deposit Rs.100 and furnish a bank guarantee for Rs.676. Pursuant to the order, the Company deposited Rs.100 on September 13, 2017 and submitted a bank guarantee of Rs.676 dated September 15, 2017 to the Registrar General, Delhi High Court. On November 22, 2017, the Delhi High Court directed the Union of India to file a final counter affidavit within six weeks, subsequent to which the Company could file a rejoinder. On May 10, 2018, the counter affidavit was filed by the Union of India. The Company subsequently filed a rejoinder and both were taken on record by the Delhi High Court. The matter has been adjourned to February 20, 2025 for hearing.

Litigation relating to Cardiovascular and Anti-diabetic formulations (continued)

Based on its best estimate, the Company has recorded a cumulative provision of Rs.469 (Rs.437 up to March 31, 2024) under “Selling, general and administrative expenses” as a potential liability for sale proceeds in excess of the notified selling prices, including the interest thereon, and believes that the likelihood of any further liability that may arise on account of penalties pursuant to this litigation is not probable.

However, if the Company is unsuccessful in such litigation, it will be required to remit the sale proceeds in excess of the notified selling prices to the Government of India with interest and could potentially include penalties, which amounts are not readily ascertainable.

Ranitidine recall and litigation

On October 1, 2019, the Company initiated a voluntary nationwide recall (at the retail level for over-the-counter products and at the consumer level for prescription products) of its generic ranitidine products sold in the United States due to the presence of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (“NDMA”) above levels established by the U.S.FDA. On April 1, 2020, the U.S.FDA requested manufacturers to withdraw all ranitidine products from the market immediately.

On February 6, 2020, the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation established MDL 2924, In re Zantac (Ranitidine) Products Liability Litigation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “MDL 2924”). Federal court cases, including personal injury lawsuits and putative class actions were transferred to the MDL 2924 and consolidated for pre-trial purposes. To date, the Company (and/or one or more of its affiliates) has been named as a defendant in more than 3,600 lawsuits in the MDL 2924.

On December 31, 2020, the MDL 2924 Court granted the generic manufacturers’ motion to dismiss all claims alleged against generic manufacturers in all the master complaints based on federal preemption. The plaintiffs’ failure-to-warn and design defect claims were dismissed with prejudice, but the Court permitted plaintiffs to amend their pleadings as to all other claims. Plaintiffs elected not to file an amended master complaint for the third-party payor class action. For all other remaining claims, plaintiffs filed amended master complaints. The defendants filed a second round of motions to dismiss on March 24, 2021. On July 8, 2021, the Court dismissed all remaining claims against the generic manufacturers with prejudice based on federal preemption. The MDL 2924 Court’s preemption rulings as to the generics were appealed in piecemeal fashion to the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. On November 7, 2022, the 11th Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the third-party payor claims. All other appeals related to the generic defendants were stayed for many months in light of bankruptcy proceedings involving other defendants.

The brand manufacturers continued to litigate in the MDL 2924 following dismissal of the generic manufacturers. On December 6, 2022, the MDL 2924 Court entered an Order granting the brand defendants’ motions to exclude all plaintiffs’ expert witnesses and entering summary judgment in favor of the brand defendants as to all claims involving bladder, esophageal, gastric, liver, and pancreatic cancers (the “designated cancers”). The MDL 2924 Court then set a deadline of April 12, 2023 for plaintiffs to identify general causation experts as to any non-designated cancers. On May 15, 2023, the MDL 2924 Court entered summary judgment on the basis of Daubert as to all defendants (including generics) in all cases alleging designated cancers. On July 14, 2023, the MDL Court entered an Order dismissing all non-designated cancer cases with prejudice as to all defendants (including generics) based on plaintiffs’ failure to disclose experts. The MDL 2924 Court dismissed all economic loss class action cases on July 26, 2023 for lack of standing and granted summary judgment in defendants’ favor on the medical monitoring class action cases in light of Daubert.

The MDL 2924 Court’s Orders on Daubert and summary judgment did not apply to cases for which plaintiffs had already filed a Notice of Appeal because the MDL 2924 Court lacked jurisdiction over those cases. To streamline the appeals, the MDL Court issued an indicative ruling, finding that, if the 11th Circuit were to return jurisdiction to the MDL 2924 Court, the MDL 2924 Court would grant summary judgment in favor of the generic defendants based on Daubert. In light of the indicative ruling, the non-brand defendants asked the 11th Circuit to remand the pending appeals back to the MDL Court. On September 8, 2023, the 11th Circuit severed the bankrupt defendant entities and remanded all appeals of cases naming brands and generics (“mixed-use cases”). On September 26, 2023, the MDL 2924 Court entered Rule 58 final judgment in favor of all defendants as to all designated cancer cases. On November 14, 2023, the MDL 2924 Court entered Rule 58 final judgment in favor of all defendants in non-designated cancer cases. On December 26, 2023, the 11th Circuit consolidated the appeals arising from the MDL 2924 for disposition before the same panel. The Court ordered the parties to brief generic preemption separately, but on the same schedule with all the other issues on appeal. Plaintiffs filed their opening merits briefs on April 10, 2024. Defendants’ briefs were filed on July 25, 2024. Plaintiffs’ reply briefs were filed on November 8, 2024. A date for oral argument has not yet been set.

Ranitidine recall and litigation (continued)

Several ranitidine-related actions are currently pending against the Company in state courts. The New Mexico State Attorney General filed suit against the Company’s U.S. subsidiary and multiple other manufacturers and retailers asserting public nuisance and negligence claims. The court denied the generic defendants’ preemption motion to dismiss. Trial was scheduled for September 15, 2025, but the parties have requested a continuance. The City of Baltimore filed a similar public nuisance action, but the Maryland state court granted the generic defendants’ preemption motion to dismiss with prejudice. In January 2021, the Company was served in a Proposition 65 case filed by the Center for Environmental Health (“CFEH”) in the Superior Court of Alameda County, California. The Company and other defendants filed preemption demurrers and on May 7, 2021, the Court granted the generic manufacturer defendants’ demurrers without leave to amend. Plaintiff appealed that decision and lost in the appellate court. The Supreme Court of California denied plaintiff’s petition for review.

More than 360 plaintiffs filed suit against the Company in California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania state courts. Generally, they alleged failure to warn, design defect, and negligence claims. The Company has been voluntarily dismissed from all cases filed against it in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. In Illinois, all cases alleging personal injuries from Zantac/ranitidine were consolidated for pre-trial purposes in Cook County. On August 17, 2023, the judge presiding over the consolidated Illinois state court proceedings granted the generic manufacturers’ motion to dismiss all claims in the Master Complaint with prejudice based on federal preemption. Plaintiffs filed an appeal in Valadez, the first ranitidine case to go to trial. In Valadez, the plaintiffs did not appeal the defense verdict in favor of the brands, but they did appeal the pre-trial dismissal of the generic defendants on preemption grounds. The defendants’ merits brief in Valadez is due on February 17, 2025. Separately, plaintiffs filed a Rule 304(a) motion seeking an interlocutory appeal of Judge Trevino’s preemption decision as to the generics in all Illinois state court cases. The generic defendants’ response to the Rule 304(a) motion was filed on January 22, 2025. In California, the Company was named in approximately 214 cases. All the California cases were transferred to the existing Judicial Council Coordination Proceedings (“JCCP”) in Alameda County.

After multiple rounds of demurrers on preemption, the JCCP Court allowed several of plaintiffs’ claims to proceed against generic manufacturers, including negligent storage and transportation, negligent product containers, failure to warn the U.S.FDA through adverse event reporting, and manufacturing defect. On December 23, 2024, DRL and plaintiffs’ counsel executed a confidential master settlement agreement to resolve the California cases pending against the Company.

The Company believes that all of the aforesaid complaints and asserted claims are without merit and it denies any wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations. Any liability that may arise on account of these claims is unascertainable at this time. Accordingly, no provision was made in these interim financial statements.

Class Action under the Canadian Competition Act filed in Federal Court in Toronto, Canada

On June 3, 2020, a Class Action Statement of Claim was filed by an individual consumer in Federal Court in Toronto, Canada, against the Company’s U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and 52 other generic drug companies. The Statement of Claim alleges an industry-wide, overarching conspiracy to violate Sections 45 and 46 of the Canadian Competition Act by conspiring to allocate the market, fix prices, and maintain the supply of generic drugs in Canada. The action is brought on behalf of a class of all persons, from January 1, 2012 to the present, who purchased generic drugs in the private sector. The Statement of Claim states that it seeks damages against all defendants on a joint and several basis, attorney’s fees and costs of investigation and prosecution. An Amended Statement of Claim was served on the Company’s U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries on January 15, 2021 and added an additional 20 generic drug companies. The Amended Statement of Claim also removed the identification of defendant companies with conspiracy allegations regarding specific generic drugs and alleges a conspiracy to allocate the North America Market as to all generic drugs in Canada. A Second Fresh as Amended Statement of Claim was served on the Company's U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries on August 24, 2022 and adds an additional 10 drug companies. The Second Fresh as Amended Statement of Claim reinstituted the identification of defendant companies with conspiracy allegations regarding specific generic drugs. On June 1, 2023, plaintiffs served and filed a Motion Record for Certification of the proposed class action. On January 15, 2024, the plaintiffs served and filed a Third Fresh as Amended Statement of Claim, clarifying the proposed class as including: consumers who purchased generic drugs at pharmacies; prescription drug plan holders or sponsors including employers, businesses, governments, and individual plan holders or sponsors; private insurers and insurance companies that purchase or reimburse for generic drugs; and corporate and other entities that purchase or reimburse for generic drugs in the private sector. It also clarifies the proposed class as excluding distributors, wholesalers, and pharmacies. On June 17, 2024, the plaintiffs served and filed a Supplementary Motion Record for Certification.

Class Action under the Canadian Competition Act filed in Federal Court in Toronto, Canada (continued)

The Company’s and all defendants’ responding evidence to the certification motion was delivered on August 2, 2024. The plaintiffs’ reply evidence for the certification motion was delivered November 15, 2024. At the same time, the plaintiffs delivered a further amended claim (the Fourth Amended Statement of Claim), which advances new allegations representing a significant shift in the core conspiracy claim and theory of the case. In addition to the alleged market allocation conspiracy, the plaintiffs nowallege that the defendant generic drug manufacturers also conspired with pharmacies to “fix invoice prices for generic drugs in Canada at the maximum formulary price,” and that the defendants facilitated this alleged conspiracy through the use of “illegal and anticompetitive kickbacks” paid to pharmacies.

The certification motion previously set by the court for five days in the week of April 28, 2025 has been rescheduled to the week of June 9, 2025. Plaintiff’s counsel has agreed to adjourn that certification hearing to a later date, which has yet to be agreed-upon or set by the Court. It is currently anticipated that the defendants will deliver any sur-reply certification evidence by the end of April 2025, and that a new certification hearing date will be set for the last calendar quarter of 2025.

The Company believes that the asserted claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations. Any liability that may arise on account of this claim is unascertainable. Accordingly, no provision was made in these interim financial statements of the Company.

Revlimid^® Antitrust Litigation

In 2023 and 2024, three lawsuits were filed against Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. (“DRL Inc.”) and/or Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. (“DRL Ltd.” and together with DRL Inc., “DRL”), and three additional groups of plaintiffs sought to add DRL to their pending actions and/or through additional lawsuits, in federal court in New Jersey concerning the drug product Revlimid® and generic equivalents. Litigation has been pending in that court since at least 2019 by various plaintiffs asserting antitrust claims and similar claims against Celgene Corporation (“Celgene”) and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”) related to Revlimid®, In re Revlimid & Thalomid Purchaser Antitrust Litigation, C.A. No. 19-cv-07532 (D.N.J.) (“In re Revlimid action”). Starting in 2022, certain plaintiffs also filed lawsuits in this litigation against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. (“Teva”) and Natco Pharma Limited (“Natco”) as well. Then, in 2023, plaintiffs Mayo Clinic and LifePoint Corporate Services, General Partnership filed a complaint against DRL Inc. as well as defendants Celgene, BMS, Natco, and Teva (C.A. No. 23-cv-22321 (D.N.J.)). In a second lawsuit in 2023 (C.A. No. 23-cv-22117 (D.N.J.)), plaintiff Intermountain Health, Inc. filed a complaint against DRL Inc. and the same group of defendants Celgene, BMS, Natco, and Teva (Mayo Clinic, LifePoint Corporate Services, General Partnership, and Intermountain Health, Inc., together, the “Hospital Plaintiffs”). The Hospital Plaintiffs have subsequently added DRL Ltd. as a defendant to their lawsuits. In a third lawsuit, filed in 2024 (C.A. No. 24-cv-00379 (D.N.J.)), plaintiffs Walgreen Co., Kroger Specialty Pharmacy, Inc., and CVS Pharmacy Inc. (together, the “Retailer Plaintiffs”), who previously had sued Celgene, BMS, Natco, and Teva, filed an additional complaint against DRL Inc. and DRL Ltd. The Hospital Plaintiffs’ and Retailer Plaintiffs’ actions against DRL have been consolidated with the In re Revlimid action. Subsequently, through amended complaints, three additional groups of plaintiffs have sought to add DRL as a defendant in their already pending lawsuits previously consolidated into the In re Revlimid action. The first such plaintiff is United Healthcare Services, Inc. (“United”) (C.A. No. 20-cv-18531 (D.N.J.)). The second such group of plaintiffs is composed of Cigna Corp., Humana Inc., Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, Health Care Service Corporation, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, Inc., and Molina Healthcare, Inc. (C.A. Nos. 19-cv-07532 (D.N.J.), 21-cv-11686 (D.N.J.), 21-cv-10187 (D.N.J.), 21-cv-06668 (D.N.J.), and 22-cv-04561(D.N.J.)) (together, the “Insurer Plaintiffs”). The third such group of plaintiffs is composed of Jacksonville Police Officers and Fire Fighters Health Insurance Trust, Carpenters and Joiners Welfare Fund, Teamsters Local 237 Welfare Fund and Teamsters Local 237 Retirees’ Benefit Fund, and Teamsters Western Region and New Jersey Health Care Fund, who bring their claims on behalf of a purported class of end-payors of Revlimid® and generic equivalents (C.A. No. 22-cv-06694 (D.N.J.)) (the “EPP Plaintiffs”).

The allegations brought by the Hospital Plaintiffs, the Retailer Plaintiffs, United, the Insurer Plaintiffs, and the EPP Plaintiffs (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) against DRL in these cases are similar: they allege that the patent settlement agreement among DRL, Celgene and BMS concerning Revlimid® violated federal and state antitrust laws and state consumer protection laws by improperly delaying generic entry of Revlimid® through 2022 and then limiting generic competition of Revlimid® through 2026. The Plaintiffs’ claims against DRL are also substantially similar to the claims these plaintiffs have brought against defendants Celgene, BMS, Natco, and Teva.

Each of these lawsuits naming DRL as a defendant have been consolidated with the ongoing In re Revlimid action. A trial date has not yet been scheduled. On June 6, 2024, the court issued an order on the pending motions to dismiss filed by other defendants, in which the court dismissed all claims at issue in that motion, including claims challenging the patent settlement agreements. The order allowed plaintiffs to file amended complaints. On August 5, 2024, all Plaintiffs filed amended complaints, including the amended complaints filed by United, Insurer Plaintiffs, and EPP Plaintiffs, described above, which sought to add DRL as a defendant in those actions for the first time. On October 7, 2024, DRL and all other defendants to the In re Revlimid action filed motions to dismiss each of Plaintiffs’ lawsuits in their entirety. Those motions are pending, and discovery currently is stayed.

On December 16, 2024, several of the Insurer Plaintiffs also filed substantially similar complaints to those already pending in the In re Revlimid action against DRL, Natco, Teva, and AbbVie Inc. (C.A. Nos. 24-cv-11168 (D.N.J.); 24-cv-11169 (D.N.J.); 24-cv-11176 (D.N.J.); 24-cv-1121 (D.N.J.); 24-cv-11230 (D.N.J.)) (the “Standalone Actions”). On January 13, 2025, DRL and all other defendants to the Standalone Actions filed a letter requesting the court that they be allowed to brief a motion to dismiss the Standalone Actions, including for substantially the same reasons already briefed in the motion to dismiss the claims raised in the In re Revlimid action.

The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions. Any liability that may arise on account of this litigation is unascertainable. Accordingly, no provision has been made in these interim financial statements of the Company.

Other matters

Internal Investigation

The Company received an anonymous complaint in September 2020, alleging that healthcare professionals in Ukraine and potentially in other countries were provided with improper payments by or on behalf of the Company in violation of U.S. anti-corruption laws, specifically the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Company disclosed the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Securities Exchange Board of India. The Company engaged a U.S. law firm to conduct an investigation at the instruction of a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. On July 6, 2021, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC for the production of related documents, which were provided to the SEC.

The Company has continued to engage with the SEC and DOJ, including through submissions and presentations regarding the initial complaint and additional complaints relating to other markets, and in relation to its Global Compliance Framework, which includes enhancement initiatives undertaken by the Company, and the Company is complying with its listing obligations as it relates to updating the regulatory agencies. While the findings from the aforesaid investigations could result in government or regulatory enforcement actions against the Company in the United States and/or foreign jurisdictions and can also lead to civil and criminal sanctions under relevant laws, the outcomes, including liabilities, are not reasonably ascertainable at this time.

25.

Geopolitical Conflicts

The Company considered the uncertainties relating to the escalation of the conflicts in the middle east, and duration of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine in assessing the recoverability of receivables, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets. The outcome of the conflict is difficult to predict, and it could have an adverse impact on the macroeconomic environment. Management has considered all potential impacts of the conflict including adherence to global sanctions and other restrictive measures against Russia and any retaliatory actions taken by Russia. For this purpose, the Company considered internal and external sources of information up to the date of approval of these interim financial statements.

The Company based on its judgments, estimates and assumptions expects to fully recover the carrying amount of receivables, inventory, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets. Accordingly, during the nine months ended December 31, 2024, the impact of this conflict on the Company’s operations and financial condition was not material. The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

Business Combination

Business transfer agreement with Haleon:

On June 26, 2024, the Company entered into definitive agreement with Haleon UK Enterprises Limited (“Haleon”) to acquire Haleon’s global portfolio outside of the United States of consumer healthcare brands in the Nicotine Replacement Therapy category (the “NRT Business”) for a total consideration of up to Rs.56,121 (GBP 500) including earn-out consideration of up to Rs.4,714 (GBP 42). The acquisition was structured as has been entered by way of purchase of all of the shares in Northstar Switzerland SARL, a Haleon group company whose assets include intellectual property, employees, agreements with commercial manufacturing organization, marketing authorizations and other assets relating to the commercialization of four brands - Nicotinell (with extensive presence in Europe, Asia including Japan, and Latin America), Nicabate (in Australia), Thrive (in Canada), and Habitrol (in New Zealand and Canada) and is inclusive of all formats such as lozenge, patch, spray and/or gum in all applicable global markets outside of the United States.

Completion of this transaction was subject to satisfying closing conditions, including the completion of a certain reorganization by Haleon Group, and obtaining foreign direct investment approval in Sweden and merger control approvals in Brazil, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The closing conditions were satisfied, and the transaction was completed on September 30, 2024 (the “acquisition date”).

Upon completion, the Company purchased 100% of the shares of NorthStar Switzerland SARL and paid Haleon an upfront cash payment of Rs.51,407 (GBP 458). Additional earn-out consideration of up to Rs.4,714 (GBP 42) is payable contingent upon achieving agreed-upon sales targets in calendar years 2024 and 2025, and meeting other parameters, bringing the total potential consideration to Rs.56,121 (GBP 500). The Company believes that the acquired business strengthens the Company’s position in global consumer healthcare OTC business.

The integration of the operations of the NRT Business into the Company will happen gradually in a phased approach between April 2025 and February 2026 until the local marketing authorizations for respective geographies are transferred in the Company’s name. During the transition period, Haleon Group will provide distribution and related services up to February 2026 across all markets.

The Company has accounted for the transaction under IFRS 3, “Business Combinations”.

Business Combination (continued)

Business transfer agreement with Haleon (continued):

Goodwill of Rs.7,249 (GBP 64.58) has been provisionally recognized, representing the excess of consideration paid above the provisional fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities. This goodwill primarily arises from a deferred tax liability recognized at acquisition, due to a difference between the fair value of the acquired brands and their corresponding tax base, and the value of further growth opportunities including expected synergies arising from the acquisition. This goodwill has been assigned to the Company’s Global Generics segment. The entire amount of goodwill and intangibles are not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The cash flow hedge gain of Rs.2,197 (GBP 19.57) represents the gain from a forward contract executed by the Company to hedge the foreign exchange exposure towards consideration paid in GBP. Upon maturity, the hedge gain was reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserves and has been adjusted in the consideration paid upon completion of the transaction.

Acquisition related costs amounting to Rs.1,017 and Rs.280 were recognized as expenses under “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the interim consolidated income statement for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and the year ended March 31, 2024, respectively.

The fair value of contingent consideration of Rs.4,490 (carrying value as at December 31, 2024: Rs.4,587) was estimated based on discounted cash flows technique, which considers the present value of the expected future earn-out payment discounted from their respective payment dates using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The significant unobservable inputs in the valuation is the estimated sales forecast. The Company has estimated that the prescribed sales target will be met. The Company has also estimated that any reasonably possible change in the sales for the calendar years 2024 and 2025 will not result in a material change in the fair value of the contingent consideration.

The amount of revenue and profit before tax (derived after amortization of NRT brands and integration expense) pertaining to the business acquired from Haleon since the acquisition date (i.e., September 30, 2024) was Rs.6,049 (GBP 56.3 million) and Rs. 1,240 ( GBP 11.3 million) respectively, during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

In calendar year 2023, the NRT business generated approximately GBP 217 in revenue for Haleon. Management believes it is not practicable to estimate the acquisition’s impact on the Company’s revenue and profit before tax for the current financial year to date as Haleon was not running it as a separate legal entity and the Company is setting up the business and integrating the functions. Consequently, no pro-forma information has been provided in the interim financial statements.

Agreement with Nestlé India Limited

On April 25, 2024, the parent company entered into a definitive agreement with Nestlé India Limited (“Nestlé India”), for manufacturing, developing, promoting, marketing, selling, distributing, and commercializing nutraceutical products and supplements in India and other geographies as may be agreed by the parties. The aforesaid business activities are carried out through Dr. Reddy’s Nutraceuticals Limited (the “Nutraceuticals subsidiary”) which was incorporated on March 14, 2024. Subsequently, the Nutraceuticals subsidiary’s name was changed to Dr. Reddy’s and Nestlé Health Science Limited on June 13, 2024. This arrangement is strategically important for both companies as it allows them to combine their complementary strengths and expand their reach in the nutraceutical market.

The aforesaid definitive agreement was subject to certain closing conditions. The closing conditions were satisfied, and the transaction was completed on August 1, 2024.

Following the closing, Nestlé India and the parent company contributed subscription amounts of Rs.7,056 and Rs.7,344 respectively, to the Nutraceuticals subsidiary. After giving effect to such infusion of subscription amounts:

Nestlé India was issued shares of the Nutraceuticals subsidiary, representing a 49% ownership stake. The parent company holds the remaining 51% of the Nutraceuticals subsidiary. Further, Nestlé India has a call option to increase their shareholding to up to 60% after six years from the closing date for a purchase price based on fair market value;

the Nutraceuticals subsidiary acquired the licenses to nutraceutical products and a supplements portfolio from Nestlé India along with employees for a cash consideration of Rs.2,231. Additionally, a royalty is payable to Nestlé India at 4.5% of post-closing net sales that are based upon the licensed rights; and

Business Combination (continued)

Agreement with Nestlé India Limited (continued):

the parent company transferred its nutraceuticals and supplements portfolio along with employees to the Nutraceuticals subsidiary for cash consideration of Rs.8,217. As this represents a transaction with a subsidiary under the control of the parent company, the transfer of nutraceuticals and supplements business by the parent company to the Nutraceuticals subsidiary has been eliminated in these interim financial statements.

The parent company has accounted for the transaction pertaining to the acquisition from Nestlé India under IFRS 3, “Business Combinations”.

The parent company completed the purchase price allocation for this acquisition. Tabulated below are the fair values of the assets acquired, including goodwill, and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date:

Particulars	Amount
Purchase consideration (A)		2,231
Property, Plant and Equipment and other assets		42
Product licenses		1,976
Distribution network		6
Assets acquired (B)		2,024
Goodwill (A-B)		207

Goodwill of Rs.207 has been recognized in connection with this acquisition, representing the excess of consideration transferred over the fair values of the net identifiable assets acquired. The goodwill is attributable to new growth opportunities, workforce and synergies of the combined business operations, and it is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The amount of revenue included in the interim consolidated income statements since August 1, 2024 pertaining to the business acquired from Nestlé India was Rs.209 and Rs.327, during the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

No pro-forma information is disclosed in these interim financial statements, as the impact of this acquisition on these interim financial statements is not material.

The associated acquisition costs were not material and have been charged to the income statement when incurred.

Non-Controlling interest:

Nestlé India’s 49% ownership stake in the Nutraceuticals subsidiary is reported as a NCI in the interim financial statements.

As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of this NCI is Rs.3,844, arising from the initial measurement at the Nestlé India’s proportionate share of identifiable net assets as of the acquisition date and subsequently adjusted with the share of profit based on ownership percentage.

The NCI share of profit after tax for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 is Rs.767. This primarily includes the portion of a deferred tax asset recognized by the Nutraceuticals subsidiary and consequently allocated to NCI. This deferred tax asset pertains to business acquired from the parent company and recognized by the Nutraceuticals subsidiary at the carrying amount as appearing in the interim financial statements of the parent company. However, the tax base of these identifiable assets is based on fair values as at the closing date.

This transaction is subject to the fulfilment of certain closing conditions, including the payment of a turnaround fee, the wind down of operations at the site, and the decommissioning of necessary equipment by the Company.

The transaction is expected to be completed by March 2025.

Segment Analysis

Global Generics

Revenues from our Global Generics segment were Rs.73,753 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 17% as compared to Rs.63,095 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The revenue increase was in all four business geographies of this segment: Europe, India, “Emerging Markets” (which is comprised of Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania and certain other countries from our “Rest of the World” markets, including South Africa, China, Brazil and Australia) and North America (the United States and Canada). The revenues from recently acquired consumer healthcare brands in the Nicotine Replacement Therapy category (the “NRT Business”) has been consolidated / combined with Europe generics business.

After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, the foregoing increase in revenues of this segment was attributable to the following factors:

an increase of approximately 12% resulting from acquisitions during the period;

an increase of approximately 7% resulting from a net increase in the sales volumes of certain of the existing products in this segment;

an increase of approximately 5% resulting from new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024; and

the foregoing was partially offset by a decrease of approximately 7% resulting from the net impact of changes in sales prices of certain of the products in this segment.

North America (the United States and Canada): Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from North America were Rs.33,834 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 1% as compared to Rs.33,492 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. In U.S. dollar absolute currency terms (i.e., U.S. dollars without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues were at similar levels in the three months ended December 31, 2024 as for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

This increase in revenues was attributable to the increase in the sales volumes of certain of our existing products and new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, both of which were partially offset by price erosion in certain of our existing products.

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we launched four new products in North America. The four new products, all of which were launched in the United States, are Venlafaxine Extended Release Capsules, Biorphen Ready-to-Use (RTU) Injection, Ivermectin Tablets as well as Brompheniramine Maleate, Pseudoephedrine HCL and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide Syrup.

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we made no new ANDA filings with the U.S. FDA. As of December 31, 2024, we had 79 filings pending approval with the U.S. FDA, which includes 75 ANDAs and 4 NDAs filed under section 505(b)(2). Out of these 75 ANDA filings, 44 are Paragraph IV filings and we believe we are the first to file with respect to 20 of these filings.

Europe: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from Europe are primarily derived from Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, France and Italy as well as the global portfolio outside of the United States of consumer brands in the Nicotine Replacement Therapy category acquired from Haleon UK (the “Acquired NRT Portfolio”). Such revenues from Europe were Rs.12,096 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 143% as compared to Rs.4,970 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in revenues of this segment was attributable largely to the revenues from the Acquired NRT Portfolio, increase in the sales volumes of certain of our existing products and new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, all of which was partially offset by a decrease in sales prices of certain of our existing products. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we launched nine new products in Europe.

India: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from India for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were Rs.13,464 million, an increase of 14% as compared to Rs.11,800 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was largely attributable to revenues from distribution of the vaccines portfolio in-licensed from Sanofi Healthcare India Private Limited (“Sanofi India”), revenues from new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024 and increases in sales prices of certain of our existing products, all of which was partially offset by a decrease in sales volumes of certain of our existing products. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we launched six new brands in India.

According to IQVIA in its report for the three months ended December 31, 2024, our secondary sales in India grew by 10.3% during such period, as compared to the India pharmaceutical market’s growth of 7.4%.

Emerging Markets: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from “Emerging Markets” (which is comprised of Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania and certain other countries from our “Rest of the World” markets, including South Africa, China, Brazil and Australia) for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were Rs.14,357 million, an increase of 12% as compared to Rs.12,833 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was largely attributable to revenues from new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024 and an increase in sales volumes of certain of our existing products.

Russia: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from Russia for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were Rs.7,007 million, an increase of 19% as compared to Rs.5,881 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. In Russian rouble absolute currency terms (i.e., Russian roubles without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues increased by 20%. The increase in revenues measured in rupees was primarily on account of revenues from new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024 and an increase in sales volumes and prices of certain of our existing products. Our over-the-counter (“OTC”) division’s revenues from Russia for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were 46% of our total revenues from Russia.

According to IQVIA, as per its report for the three months ended November 30, 2024, our sales value (in Russian roubles) growth and volume growth from Russia, as compared to the Russian pharmaceutical market sales value (in Russian roubles) growth and volume growth was as follows:

	For the three months ended November 30, 2024
	Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd.						Russian pharmaceutical market
	Sales value			Volume			Sales value			Volume
Prescription (Rx)		(1.8	%)		(3.7	%)		19.5	%		5.8	%
Over-the-counter (OTC)		6.8	%		(2.4	%)		10.1	%		(1.8	%)
Total (Rx + OTC)		2.1	%		(2.8	%)		14.7	%		0.3	%

Other countries of the former Soviet Union and Romania: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from other countries of the former Soviet Union and Romania were Rs.2,416 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 4% as compared to Rs.2,325 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was largely attributable to an increase in sales prices of certain of our existing products and new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024.

“Rest of the World” Markets: We refer to all markets of this segment other than North America (the United States and Canada), Europe, Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania and India as our “Rest of the World” markets. Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from our “Rest of the World” markets were Rs.4,935 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 7% as compared to Rs.4,627 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was largely attributable to revenues from new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024 and an increase in the sales volumes of certain of our existing products, both of which were partially offset by a decrease in the sales prices of certain of our existing products and unfavorable currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (“PSAI”)

Our PSAI segment’s revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were Rs.8,219 million, an increase of 5% as compared to Rs.7,839 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, this increase was attributable to revenues from new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024 and an increase in the sales volumes of certain of our existing products, both of which were partially offset by a decrease in the sales prices of certain of our existing products.

Gross Profit

Our total gross profit was Rs.49,052 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, representing 58.7% of our revenues for that period, as compared to Rs.42,203 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, representing 58.5% of our revenues for that period.

The following table sets forth, for the period indicated, our gross profits by segment:

	For the three months ended December 31,
	2024					2023
	(Rs. in millions)
	Gross Profit		% of Segment Revenue			Gross Profit		% of Segment Revenue
Global Generics	Rs.	45,219		61.3	%	Rs.	39,075		61.9	%
PSAI		2,353		28.6	%		2,306		29.4	%
Others		1,480		91.7	%		822		67.7	%
Total	Rs.	49,052		58.7	%	Rs.	42,203		58.5	%

The gross profit margin from our Global Generics segment increased to 61.3% of this segment’s revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2024, from 61.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was mainly on account of favorable changes in our product mix (i.e., an increase in the proportion of our profits from products with higher profit margins and a decrease in the proportion from products with lower profit margins), partially offset by price erosion in certain of our products.

The gross profit margin from our PSAI segment decreased to 28.6% of this segment’s revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2024, from 29.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily on account of higher inventory overheads and unfavorable cost inflation in commodity prices, both of which were partially offset by favorable changes in our product mix (i.e., an increase in the proportion of our profits from products with higher profit margins and a decrease in the proportion from products with lower profit margins) for the three months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were Rs.24,117 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 19% as compared to Rs.20,228 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, this increase was largely attributable to the following:

a 10% increase due to higher sales and marketing expenses;

a 4% increase due to higher personnel costs, primarily on account of new hires;

a 3% increase due to higher freight outward expenses; and

a 2% increase due to higher spending on other costs, including depreciation and amortization.

As a proportion of our total revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 28.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from 28.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Research and development expenses

Our research and development expenses were Rs.6,658 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 20% as compared to Rs.5,565 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily on account of higher developmental expenditures on certain projects for our biosimilar and generics businesses.

As a proportion of our total revenues, our research and development expenses increased to 8.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 7.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Impairment of non-current assets

Our impairment of non-current assets was a reversal of Rs.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to a charge of Rs.110 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. (Refer to Note 11 of the interim financial statements in this report for further details).

Other income, net

Our net other income was Rs.439 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to Rs.967 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The other income was lower for the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily on account of higher income from sale of non-current assets in the same quarter of the previous year.

Finance income, net

Our net finance expense was Rs.20 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to net finance income of Rs.963 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This decrease in net finance income was due to the following:

net foreign exchange loss of Rs.496 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to Rs.66 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023;

net interest expense of Rs.114 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to net interest income of Rs.189 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023; and

a decrease in fair value changes and profit on sale of units of mutual funds and other investments to Rs.590 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to Rs.840 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Profit before tax

As a result of the above, our profit before tax was Rs.18,742 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to Rs.18,257 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Tax expense

Our consolidated effective tax rate was 25.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 24.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2023. (Refer to Note 18 of the interim financial statements in this report for further details).

Our tax expense was Rs.4,704 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to Rs.4,468 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Profit for the period

As a result of the above, our profit for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was Rs.14,038 million, representing 16.8% of our total revenues for such period, as compared to Rs.13,789 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, representing 19.1% of our total revenues for such period.

The non-controlling interest (“NCI”) share for the three months ending December 31, 2024 was Rs.95 million.

Profit after tax attributable to the equity holders of the parent company was Rs.14,133 million for the three months ending December 31, 2024, representing 16.9% of our total revenues for such period.

Segment Analysis

Global Generics

Revenues from our Global Generics segment were Rs.214,187 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 16% as compared to Rs.184,262 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The revenue increase was in all of the four business geographies of this segment: Europe, India, North America (the United States and Canada), and “Emerging Markets” (which is comprised of Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania and certain other countries from our “Rest of the World” markets, including South Africa, China, Brazil and Australia). The revenues from recently acquired consumer healthcare brands in the Nicotine Replacement Therapy category (the “NRT Business”) has been consolidated / combined with Europe generics business.

an increase of approximately 12% resulting from increase in sales volume of certain of our existing products;

an increase of approximately 5% resulting from acquisitions during the period;

an increase of approximately 5% resulting from new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024; and

the foregoing was partially offset by a decrease of approximately 6% resulting largely from the net impact of changes in sales prices of certain of the products in this segment.

North America (the United States and Canada): Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from North America were Rs.109,578 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 13% as compared to Rs.97,245 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. In U.S. dollar absolute currency terms (i.e., U.S. dollars without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues increased by approximately 11% in the nine months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

This increase in revenues was largely attributable to the increase in the sales volumes of certain of our existing products, partially offset by price erosion in certain of our existing products.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, we launched 11 new products in North America, all of which were launched in the United States.

Europe: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from Europe were Rs.23,132 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 51% as compared to Rs.15,326 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was largely attributable to revenues from the Acquired NRT Portfolio, revenues from new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024 and an increase in the sales volumes of certain of our existing products, all of which was partially offset by a decrease in prices of certain of our existing products.

India: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from India were Rs.40,687 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 16% as compared to Rs.35,141 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was largely attributable to revenues from distribution of the vaccines portfolio in-licensed from Sanofi India as well as the integration of the products of the Nutraceuticals subsidiary, revenues from new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, increase in sales prices of certain of our existing products, all of which was partially offset by a decrease in sales volumes of certain of our existing products. During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, we launched 22 new brands in India, in addition to distribution of the vaccines portfolio in-licensed from Sanofi India as well as the integration of the products of the Nutraceuticals subsidiary.

According to IQVIA, in its Moving Annual Total report for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, our secondary sales in India grew by 9.8% during such period, as compared to the India pharmaceutical market’s growth of 7.6%.

Emerging Markets: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from “Emerging Markets” (which is comprised of Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania and certain other countries which we refer to as our “Rest of the World” markets, primarily South Africa, China, Brazil and Australia) for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 were Rs.40,790 million, an increase of 12% as compared to Rs.36,550 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Russia: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from Russia for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 were Rs.19,408 million, an increase of 12% as compared to Rs.17,309 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. In Russian rouble absolute currency terms (i.e., Russian roubles without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues increased by approximately 20%. The increase in revenues was primarily on account of an increase in sales prices and volumes of certain of our existing products as well as revenues from new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, all of which was partially offset by unfavorable currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our OTC division’s revenues from Russia for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, were 49% of our total revenues from Russia.

According to IQVIA, as per its report for the eight months ended November 30, 2024, our sales value growth (in Russian roubles) and volume growth from Russia, as compared to the Russian pharmaceutical market, was as follows:

	For the eight months ended November 30, 2024
	Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd.						Russian pharmaceutical market
	Sales value			Volume			Sales value			Volume
Prescription (Rx)		6.2	%		(4.4	%)		18.3	%		2.7	%
Over-the-counter (OTC)		13.6	%		(5.3	%)		13.3	%		(1.5	%)
Total (Rx + OTC)		9.4	%		(4.9	%)		15.9	%		(0.3	%)

Other Countries of former Soviet Union and Romania: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from other countries of the former Soviet Union and Romania were Rs.6,479 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to Rs.6,463 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This was largely on account of an increase in sales prices of certain of our existing products, which was offset by a decrease in sales volumes of certain of our existing products.

“Rest of the World” Markets: We refer to all markets of this segment other than North America (the United States and Canada), Europe, Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania and India as our “Rest of the World” markets. Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from our “Rest of the World” markets were Rs.14,903 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 17% as compared to Rs.12,778 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was largely attributable to revenues from new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024 and an increase in sales volumes of certain of our existing products, both of which were partially offset by a decrease in sales prices of certain of our existing products.

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (“PSAI”)

Our PSAI segment’s revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 were Rs.24,283 million, an increase of 13% as compared to Rs.21,582 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, this increase was largely attributable to an increase in sales volumes of certain of our existing products and revenues from new products launched between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024.

Gross Profit

Our total gross profit was Rs.143,165 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, representing 59.5% of our revenues for that period, as compared to Rs.122,124 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, representing 58.6% of our revenues for that period.

	For the nine months ended December 31,
	2024					2023
	(Rs. in millions)
	Gross Profit		% of Segment Revenue			Gross Profit		% of Segment Revenue
Global Generics	Rs.	134,899		63.0	%	Rs.	116,335		63.1	%
Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (PSAI)		6,639		27.3	%		4,569		21.2	%
Others		1,627		81.1	%		1,220		49.0	%
Total	Rs.	143,165		59.5	%	Rs.	122,124		58.6	%

After taking into account the impact of the exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, the gross profit margin from our Global Generics segment marginally decreased to 63.0% of this segment’s revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, from 63.1% for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was mainly on account of favorable changes in our product mix (i.e., an increase in the proportion of our profits from products with higher profit margins and a decrease in the proportion from products with lower profit margins), offset by price erosion in certain of our products, primarily in our generic markets.

The gross profit margin from our PSAI segment increased to 27.3% of this segment’s revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, from 21.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily on account of lower percentage of manufacturing overhead costs on higher sales base and favorable changes in our product mix (i.e., an increase in the proportion of our profits from products with higher profit margins and a decrease in the proportion from products with lower profit margins), both of which were partially offset by higher inventory overheads and unfavorable cost inflation during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were Rs.69,815 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 23% as compared to Rs.56,725 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, this increase was largely attributable to the following:

a 7% increase due to higher selling and advertisement expenses;

a 7% increase due to higher personnel costs, primarily on account of new hires and annual raises;

a 3% increase due to higher freight outward expenses;

a 2% increase due to higher legal and professional expenses; and

a 4% increase in other costs, including depreciation and amortization expense.

As a proportion of our total revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses were 29.0% for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 27.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Research and development expenses

Our research and development costs were Rs.20,122 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 26% as compared to Rs.15,996 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily on account of developmental expenditure on certain projects for our biosimilar and generic businesses.

Impairment of non-current assets

Our impairment of non-current assets was a charge of Rs.925 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to Rs.176 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. (Refer to Note 11 of the interim financial statements in this report for further details).

Other income, net

Our net other income was Rs.1,893 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to Rs.3,543 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The other income was higher for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, primarily on account of a sale of noncurrent assets and higher miscellaneous income which included:

Rs.984 recognized pursuant to a settlement of product related litigation by the Company and its affiliates in the United Kingdom; and

Finance income, net

Our net finance income was Rs.2,372 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to Rs.2,972 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This decrease in net finance income was due to the following:

net interest expense of Rs.60 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to net interest income of Rs.513 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023;

net foreign exchange loss of Rs.403 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to net foreign exchange gain of Rs.92 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023; and

the foregoing was partially offset by an increase in fair value changes and profit on sale of units of mutual funds and other investments to Rs.2,835 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to Rs.2,367 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Profit before tax

As a result of the above, our profit before tax was Rs.56,730 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 2% as compared to Rs.55,854 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Our tax expense was Rs.15,357 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to Rs.13,240 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Profit for the period

As a result of the above, our net profit was Rs.41,373 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, representing 17.2% of our total revenues for such period, as compared to Rs.42,614 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, representing 20.5% of our total revenues for such period.

The non-controlling interest (NCI) share for the nine months ending December 31, 2024 was Rs.767 million.

Profit after tax attributable to the equity holders of the parent company was Rs.40,606 million for the nine months ending December 31, 2024, representing 16.9% of our total revenues for such period.

Exhibit 99.1

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024, the related condensed consolidated interim income statements, statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the condensed consolidated interim statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “condensed consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024, the related consolidated income statements, statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated June 12, 2024, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
