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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance, regulatory and litigation matters, including: uncertainties regarding actual or potential

magnitude, duration, and geographic reach of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, financial condition, operations, cash
flows, and liquidity and on the economy in general; challenges associated with the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global
supply chain; additional regulatory costs or delays in governmental processing time due to modified government operations resulting from
the COVID-19 pandemic, including effects on product and patent approvals due to the COVID-19 pandemic;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance matters including U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws,
which impose restrictions and may carry substantial penalties, which risks include without limitation the following: We work with third-party
distributors and other agents for the marketing and distribution of our products and, although our policies prohibit these third parties
from making improper payments or otherwise violating these anti-bribery laws, any lapses in complying with such anti-bribery laws by these
third parties may adversely impact us. We may be subject to injunctions or limitations on future conduct, be required to modify our business
practices and compliance programs and/or have a compliance monitor imposed on us, or suffer other criminal or civil penalties or adverse
impacts, including lawsuits by private litigants or investigations and fines imposed by local authorities. Actions by our employees, or
third-party intermediaries acting on our behalf, in violation of such laws, whether carried out in the United States or elsewhere, may
expose us to liability for violations of such anti-bribery laws and accordingly may have a material adverse effect on our reputation and
our business, financial positions, results of operations, and/or cash flows;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risks of reputational damage and other adverse effects in the event of inadequate performance and management
of environmental, social and governance ("ESG") topics; and

Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, but do not have an impact on these interim financial statements.

**2. Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)**

**c) Basis of measurement** 

These interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention and on an accrual basis, except for the following material items in the statements of financial position:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· derivative financial instruments are measured
at fair value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· financial assets are measured either at fair
value or at amortized cost, depending on the classification;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· employee defined benefit assets/(liabilities)
are recognized as the net total of the fair value of plan assets, adjusted for actuarial gains/(losses) and the present value of the defined
benefit obligation;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· share-based payments are measured at fair value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· investments in joint ventures are accounted for
using the equity method;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part
of business combinations are measured at fair value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· contingent consideration arising out of business
combination are measured at fair value; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· right-of-use assets are recognized at the present
value of lease payments that are not paid at that date. This amount is adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement
date, lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred, if any.

**d) 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, 2022 have been translated into U.S. dollars at the certified foreign exchange rate of U.S.$1.00 = Rs.82.72, as published by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors on December 30, 2022. 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.

**e) Functional and presentation currency**

These interim financial statements are presented in Indian rupees, which is the functional currency of the parent company. All financial information presented in Indian rupees has been rounded to the nearest million.

In respect of certain non-Indian subsidiaries that operate as marketing arms of the parent company in their respective countries/regions, the functional currency has been determined to be the functional currency of the parent company (i.e., the Indian rupee). The operations of these entities are largely restricted to importing of finished goods from the parent company in India, sales of these products in the foreign country and making of import payments to the parent company. The cash flows realized from sales of goods are available for making import payments to the parent company and cash is paid to the parent company on a regular basis. The costs incurred by these entities are primarily the cost of goods imported from the parent company. The financing of these subsidiaries is done directly or indirectly by the parent company.

In respect of subsidiaries whose operations are self-contained and integrated within their respective countries/regions, the functional currency has been generally determined to be the local currency of those countries/regions, unless use of a different currency is considered appropriate.

**f) Use of estimates and judgments**

The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB ("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 significant 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, 2022.

**3.** **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 Co-Chairman and Managing Director was previously the CODM of the Company. Pursuant to certain organizational changes, effective December 1, 2020, the office of Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") assumed the authority and responsibility for making decisions about resources to be allocated to various segments and assessing their performance. Consequently, the CEO is the CODM of the Company.

The Company's reportable operating segments are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Global Generics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients
("PSAI"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Others. <sup>\*</sup>

As discussed below, Proprietary Products ceased to be deemed a reportable operating segment effective April 1, 2022.

 ****

***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.

 ****

***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. This segment also includes the Company's contract research services business and the manufacture and sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients and steroids in accordance with the specific customer requirements.

 ****

***Others. \**** This segment consists of the Company's other business operations which includes its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Aurigene Oncology Limited ("AOL") (formerly Aurigene Discovery Technologies Limited), 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. 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.

** 

*<sup>\*</sup>As the revenues and gross profits of the Proprietary Products segment are considerably lower than the quantitative thresholds mentioned in IFRS 8, "Operating Segments", the Company believes that Proprietary Products segment no longer qualifies to be a reportable segment and consequently, effective April 1, 2022, the Company included the financial information relating to its Proprietary Products segment in "Others". The corresponding information relating to the Proprietary Products segment for earlier periods has been restated to reflect the aforementioned change.* 

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 consolidated financial statements.

<sup>(1)</sup> Balance as of March 31, 2022, represents amounts receivable pursuant to an out-licensing arrangement with a customer. As these amounts were not expected to be realized within twelve months from the end of the reporting date, they were disclosed as non-current.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, pursuant to an arrangement with a bank, the Company sold to the bank certain of its trade receivables forming part of its Global Generics segment, on a non-recourse basis. The receivables sold were mutually agreed upon with the bank after considering the creditworthiness and contractual terms with the customer. The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of such receivables sold to the bank, and accordingly, the same were derecognized in the statements of financial position. As on December 31, 2022, the amount of trade receivables de-recognized pursuant to the aforesaid arrangement was Rs.5,856.

<sup>(1)</sup> During the year ended March 31, 2022, there was a significant decline in the expected cash flows of the Company's subsidiary, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Louisiana, LLC (Shreveport Cash Generating Unit ("CGU")). Consequently, the Company tested the carrying amount of the CGU, being the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. This resulted in the recoverable amount of the CGU being lower than its carrying amount. Accordingly, the Company recognized an impairment loss of the entire carrying value of Rs.2,570 for property, plant and equipment, Rs.89 for capital-work-in-progress and Rs.392 for goodwill.

In addition, a further impairment loss of Rs.17 representing the additions made to property, plant and equipment during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 has been recognized as the recoverable amount continues to be lower than the carrying value.

This impairment loss pertains to the Company's Global Generics segment.

*Capital commitments*

As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company was committed to spend Rs.7,720 and Rs.7,991, respectively, under agreements to purchase property, plant and equipment. This amount is net of capital advances paid in respect of such purchase commitments.

**9. Goodwill**

Goodwill arising on business combinations is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if there is any indication that the cash generating unit to which goodwill is allocated is impaired.

The following table presents goodwill as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022:

Income tax expense is recognized based on the Company's best estimate of the average annual income tax rate for the fiscal year applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period. The average annual 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.

The Company has considered the impact of recent tax regulations and developments, including updates to its estimate on the impact of adoption of the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act 2019, in determining its tax expense for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2022.

---

The effective rate of tax for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was lower as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021 primarily on account of the changes in our jurisdictional mix of earnings (i.e., an increase in the proportion of our profits from lower tax jurisdictions and decrease in proportion of our profits from higher tax jurisdictions).

Tax (benefits)/expenses recognized directly in the equity primarily relates to tax effects on the changes in fair value of financial instruments and the changes in fair value of cash flow hedges.

***Uncertain tax positions***

During the years ended March 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, Industrias Quimicas Falcon de Mexico, S.A. de CV, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in Mexico, received a notice from Mexico's Tax Administration Service, Servicio de Administracion Tributaria ("SAT"), with respect to disallowance on account of transfer pricing adjustments pertaining to the calendar years ended December 31, 2006, December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008. The associated tax impact is Rs.1,075 (MXN 253) and profit share impact is Rs.106 (MXN 25). The Company filed an administrative appeal with the General Contentious Administration of the SAT by challenging these disallowances and, during February and March 2017, the Company received an order of the SAT confirming these disallowances by dismissing its administrative appeal. The Company appealed the order from SAT and filed an appeal with the Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa (Federal Tax and Administrative Court of Mexico) in March and April 2017. During December 2022, the Company received an order from Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa (Federal Tax and Administrative Court of Mexico) confirming the disallowances proposed by the SAT. The Company believes that the likelihood of any liability that may arise of the Order from Federal Tax and Administrative Court of Mexico is not probable and the Company intends to file an appeal with the Collegiate Circuit Court of the Federal Judicial Branch by January 31, 2023. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that it would prevail over the SAT in this litigation. Accordingly, no provision has been made in these interim financial statements.

**18. 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. Amounts contributed to the Gratuity Fund are invested in bonds issued by the Government of India and in debt securities and equity securities of Indian companies. The liability recorded by the parent company towards this obligation was Rs.71 and Rs.544 as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, 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.1,024 and Rs.1,061 as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

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:

<sup>(1)</sup> The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions and banks. Derivatives 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.

As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, 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 as part of its foreign currency exposure risk mitigation strategy. Non-derivative financial instruments consist of investments in mutual funds, bonds, commercial papers, equity and debt securities, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade payables.

The net carrying amount of the Company's "hedging reserve" as a component of equity before adjusting for tax impact was a loss of Rs.985 as of December 31, 2022, as compared to a gain of Rs.313 as of December 31, 2021 and Rs.1,284 as of March 31, 2022.

**22. 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 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 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 and 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 and 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, 2022 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***

 

***Launch of product***

With regard to the patent litigation as disclosed in Note 32 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company was previously a party to patent litigation with Indivior Inc. and Indivior UK Limited (collectively, "Indivior") and Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc. ("Aquestive") relating to the Company's generic buprenorphine and naloxone sublingual film, 2 mg/0.5 mg, 4 mg/1 mg, 8 mg/2 mg, and 12 mg/3 mg dosages, a therapeutic equivalent generic version of Suboxone® sublingual film in United States.

On June 23, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Indivior and Aquestive. Under this settlement, the Company will receive payments totaling U.S.$72 by March 31, 2024. The agreement resolves all claims between the parties relating to the Company's generic buprenorphine and naloxone sublingual film, 2 mg/0.5 mg, 4 mg/1 mg, 8 mg/2 mg, and 12 mg/3 mg dosages, including Indivior's and Aquestive's patent infringement allegations and the Company's antitrust counterclaims. On June 28, 2022 the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey dismissed all claims and counterclaims pending in the case with prejudice, pursuant to a joint stipulation of dismissal filed by the parties.

***Other product and patent related matters***

 

*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 ranitidine medications sold in the United States due to the presence of N-Nitrosodimethylamine ("NDMA") above levels established by the U.S. FDA. On November 1, 2019, the U.S. FDA issued a statement indicating that it had found levels of NDMA in ranitidine from its testing generally that were "similar to the levels you would expect to be exposed to if you ate common foods like grilled or smoked meats." See <u>https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/statement-new-testing-results-including-low-levels-impurities-ranitidine-drugs</u>. On April 1, 2020, the U.S. FDA issued a press release announcing that it was requesting manufacturers to withdraw all prescription and over-the-counter ranitidine drugs from the market immediately. See <u>https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-requests-removal-all-ranitidine-products-zantac-market</u>.

Individual federal court personal injury lawsuits, as well as various class actions, were transferred to the In re Zantac (Ranitidine) Products Liability Litigation Multidistrict Litigation in the Southern District of Florida, MDL-2924 ("MDL-2924"). The Company and/or one or more of its U.S. subsidiaries have been named as a defendant in over 400 lawsuits in MDL-2924. A census registry established in MDL-2924 includes tens of thousands of claimants who did not file complaints but preserved claims against the many pharmaceutical manufacturer, distributor and retailer defendants in MDL-2924.In August 2022, the defendants exited all registry plaintiffs alleging non-designated cancers (i.e. types of cancers that are not being pursued by plaintiffs' leadership in the MDL-2924) and all registry plaintiffs alleging designated cancers who did not commit to filing a complaint in federal court. As a result, state court filings have commenced. MDL-2924 also involves a proposed nationwide consumer class action and a proposed nationwide class action for medical monitoring. A third-party payor class action was dismissed without prejudice. On November 7, 2022, such dismissal was affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

On December 31, 2020, the MDL-2924 Court ruled on multiple motions to dismiss in MDL-2924 and granted the generic manufacturers' (the Company is a generic manufacturer) motion to dismiss based on federal preemption. The plaintiffs' failure-to-warn and design defect claims against the Company were dismissed with prejudice, but the Court permitted plaintiffs to attempt to replead several claims/theories. Plaintiffs filed their amended complaints and the defendants, including the Company, filed motions to dismiss seeking dismissal of all claims against them on March 24, 2021. On July 8, 2021, the Court dismissed the proposed nationwide consumer class action and proposed nationwide class action for medical monitoring against the Company and other generic manufacturers with prejudice based on federal preemption. The MDL-2924 Court's dismissal decisions have been piecemeal appealed by plaintiffs to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, resulting in three rounds of appeals. Motions to dismiss rounds two and three of plaintiffs' appeals have been filed, but no merits briefing or oral argument has yet occurred. In addition, rounds two and three of plaintiffs' appeals are stayed in light of the bankruptcy proceedings involving co-defendant Par Pharmaceutical (a subsidiary of Endo). While the generic manufacturer defendants were previously dismissed with prejudice from the MDL-2924 on federal preemption grounds, the brand manufacturer defendants were not dismissed, and therefore have continued to litigate. Following substantial briefing and argument, on December 6, 2022, the MDL-2924 Court entered an Omnibus Order on All Pending Daubert Motions and Defendants' Summary Judgment Motion. In so doing, the Court granted brand defendants' motions to exclude plaintiffs' expert witnesses and entered summary judgment in favor of the brand defendants as to all claims involving bladder, esophageal, gastric, liver, and pancreatic cancers.

**22. Contingencies (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. The State of New Mexico asserted claims of statutory and common law public nuisance and negligence against the Company. The Company joined in an effort to transfer the case from the Santa Fe County Court to MDL-2924, but the case was remanded by the MDL-2924 Court to the Santa Fe County Court. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on April 16, 2021. The defendants' motions to dismiss, including the Company's federal preemption motion to dismiss, were denied. The case is currently in the discovery stage. Trial has been scheduled on or after September 15, 2025. In November 2020, the City of Baltimore filed a similar action against the Company's U.S. subsidiary, and multiple other manufacturers and retailers. The City of Baltimore asserts public nuisance and negligence claims against the Company. The City of Baltimore action also was transferred to MDL-2924 and subsequently was remanded to the Circuit Court of Maryland. The City of Baltimore filed an amended complaint, which the defendants moved to dismiss. The Company's federal preemption motion to dismiss was granted in February 2022 and it is not currently a defendant in the case. 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 plaintiff purports to bring the case on behalf of the people of California and alleges that the Company violated Proposition 65, a California law requiring manufacturers to disclose the presence of carcinogens in consumer products. The Company and other defendants filed demurrers (motions to dismiss) in the case, and on May 7, 2021 the Court granted the generic manufacturer defendants' demurrers without leave to amend the pleadings. CFEH appealed that decision and appellate briefing is completed. Oral argument has not been scheduled yet, and the Court has not ruled.

As mentioned, a large number of claimants were exited from the MDL-2924 census registry by the defendants. As a result, more than 40 state court cases involving a total of more than 360 plaintiffs have been filed against the Company in California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania state courts. More state court filings could follow. The California cases were filed in Alameda County and have now been transferred to the existing Judicial Council Coordinated Proceedings ("JCCP") proceedings (which has been pending for years with respect to the brand defendants). The Illinois cases have been filed in Madison, St. Clair and Cook Counties and have been consolidated for pretrial purposes in Cook County, with plaintiffs attempting to get trial dates established in certain cases. The Pennsylvania cases were filed in Philadelphia County and are consolidated in the Philadelphia Complex Litigation Center. The New York cases were filed in New York and Suffolk Counties, and the parties are seeking pretrial consolidation in New York County. The New Jersey cases were filed in Middlesex County. Generally, they allege, among other things, failure to warn, design defect and negligence. The defendants have moved, or intend to move, to dismiss these cases.

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 of the Company.

***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 the 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 made presentations to the SEC and the DOJ in relation to the investigation with respect to certain countries during the current and previous fiscal year. The Company also made a presentation to the SEC and the DOJ in relation to its Global Compliance Framework, including the ongoing enhancement initiatives, during the nine months ended December 31, 2022. 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, which can lead to civil and criminal sanctions under relevant laws, the outcomes including liabilities are not reasonably ascertainable at this time.

***Other matters***

 

*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 Section 36 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.

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.

 

*Civil Investigative Demand from the Office of the Attorney General, State of Texas*

On or about November 10, 2014, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc., one of the Company's subsidiaries in the United States, received a Civil Investigative Demand ("CID") from the Office of the Attorney General, State of Texas (the "Texas AG") requesting certain information, documents and data regarding sales and price reporting practices in the U.S. marketplace for certain products (the "Covered Conduct") for the time-period between January 1, 1995 and the date of the CID. On or about June 23, 2021, the Texas AG contacted the Company's counsel to request additional information related to the Texas AG's investigation and the Covered Conduct for the time-period of October 1, 2003 through February 29, 2012. The Company has continued to cooperate and respond to the Texas AG's requests for information related to the Covered Conduct.

As on March 31, 2022, the Company based on its best estimate, was carrying a provision of Rs.983 in this regard.

On June 1, 2022, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc. entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with the Texas AG and the Texas Health & Human Services Commission related to the Covered Conduct. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement and Release, on July 6, 2022, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc. paid the total sum of U.S.$12.9 to the State of Texas as a full and final settlement of any claims being investigated by the State of Texas in relation to the Covered Conduct. Neither Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc. nor the Company admitted to any facts or liability in connection with this settlement. The settlement was a compromise and settlement on disputed issues of fact and law.

**23. Merger of Dr. Reddy's Holdings Limited into Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited**

The Board of Directors, at its meeting held on July 29, 2019, had approved the amalgamation of Dr. Reddy's Holdings Limited ("DRHL"), an entity held by the Promoter Group, which holds 24.83% of Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited (the "Company") into the Company (the "Scheme"). This Scheme is subject to the approval of shareholders, stock exchanges, the National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT") and other relevant regulators as per the provisions of Section 230 to 232 and any other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

The Scheme was intended to simplify the shareholding structure and reduction of shareholding tiers. The Promoter Group cumulatively was to continue to hold the same number of shares in the Company, pre and post the amalgamation. All costs, charges and expenses relating to the Scheme will be borne out of the surplus assets of DRHL. Further, any expense, if exceeding the surplus assets of DRHL, will be borne directly by the Promoter Group.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the Scheme was approved by the board of directors, members and unsecured creditors of the Company. The no-observation letters from the BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited were received on the basis of no comments received from Securities and Exchange Board of India ("SEBI"). The petition for approval of the said Scheme was filed with the Hon'ble NCLT, Hyderabad Bench.

The aforementioned Scheme was approved by the NCLT, Hyderabad Bench vide its Order dated April 5, 2022. Subsequently, the Company filed the NCLT order, with the Ministry of Company Affairs on April 8, 2022 ("Effective Date"). Pursuant to the Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement as approved by the NCLT, an aggregate of 41,325,300 equity shares, face value of Rs.5 each held by DRHL in the share capital of the Company have been cancelled and an equivalent 41,325,300 number of equity shares, face value of Rs.5 each were allotted to the shareholders of DRHL. There was no change in the total equity shareholding (Promoter/Public Shareholding) of the Company, on account of the allotment/cancellation of equity shares pursuant to the approved Scheme.

The Scheme also provides that the Promoters of the Company will jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its directors, employees, officers, representatives, or any other person authorized by the Company (excluding the Promoters) for any liability, claim, or demand, which may devolve upon the Company on account of this amalgamation.

**(in millions, except share and per share data and where otherwise stated)**

24. Business Combination (continued)

Tabulated below are the fair values of the assets acquired, including goodwill, and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Particulars** | **Amount** | **Amount** |
| Cash |  | Rs.337 |
| Payment through Escrow account |  | 84 |
| **Total consideration** | **Rs.** | **421** |
| ***Assets acquired*** |  |  |
| Goodwill |  | Rs.260 |
| Property, plant and equipment |  | 2 |
| Other intangible assets |  | 106 |
| Inventories |  | 144 |
| Trade receivables |  | 45 |
| Cash and cash equivalents |  | 11 |
| Other assets |  | 2 |
| Deferred tax asset |  | 2 |
| ***Liabilities assumed*** |  |  |
| Trade payables |  | (141) |
| Other liabilities |  | (10) |
| **Total net assets** | **Rs.** | **421** |

---

The total goodwill of Rs.260 consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from the acquired business, together with the value of the workforce acquired. This goodwill has been assigned to the Company's Global Generics segment.

The amount of revenue and loss pertaining to the acquired business was not material for the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

**25. Impact of military conflict between Russia and Ukraine**

The Company considered the uncertainty relating to the continuing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine in assessing the recoverability of receivables, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets. The outcome of the war is difficult to predict, and it could have an adverse impact on the macroeconomic environment. Management has considered all potential impacts of the war including adherence of 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's supply chain has been impacted primarily in Russia and Ukraine, both in terms of higher freight costs and increase in the lead time by suppliers. However, the Company has been able to service its customers without any significant shortages or disruptions. The Company based on its judgments, estimates and assumptions including sensitivity analysis, expects to fully recover the carrying amounts of receivables, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets. Accordingly, during the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the impact of this conflict on the Company's operations, cash flows and financial condition was not material. The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

**Segment Analysis**

 ****

***Global Generics***

Revenues from our Global Generics segment were Rs.59,241 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 33% as compared to Rs.44,508 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The revenue increase was in all of the four business geographies of this segment: North America (the United States and Canada), Europe, India, 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 foregoing increase in revenues of this segment was attributable to the following factors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an increase of approximately 33% resulting from
new products launched during the period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an increase of approximately 4% resulting from
foreign exchange rate gains;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an increase of approximately 3% resulting from
a net increase in the sales volumes of existing products in this segment; and

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

*North America (the United States and Canada)*: Our Global Generics segment's revenues from North America (the United States and Canada) were Rs.30,567 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 64% as compared to Rs.18,645 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. 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 51% in the three months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021.

This increase in revenues was largely attributable to new product launches between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 (such as lenalidomide capsules and sorafenib tablets) and an increase in volumes of certain of our existing products, which was partly offset by price erosion in certain of our existing products.

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we launched five new products in the United States, which were desmopressin MDV, OTC guaifenesin ER, fingolimod capsules, thiotepa 100 mg injection and biorphen injection.

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we made one new ANDA filing with the U.S. FDA. As of December 31, 2022, we had 78 filings pending approval with the U.S. FDA, which includes 75 ANDAs and three NDAs filed under section 505(b)(2). Out of these 78 ANDA filings, 41 are Paragraph IV filings and we believe we are the first to file with respect to 21 of these filings.

 

*Europe:* Our Global Generics segment's revenues from Europe are primarily derived from Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, France and Spain. Such revenues were Rs.4,303 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 6% as compared to Rs.4,058 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily on account of an increase in the sales volumes of some of our existing products and new products launched between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022, partly offset by price erosion in certain of our existing products and adverse foreign exchange rates.

 

*India:* Our Global Generics segment's revenues from India for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were Rs.11,274 million, an increase of 10% as compared to Rs.10,266 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. This increase was attributable to revenues from new products launched between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 and an increase in sales prices of some of our existing products, which was partially offset by a decrease in sales volumes of some of our existing products. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we launched two new brands in India.

According to IQVIA in its report for the three months ended December 31, 2022, our secondary sales in India grew by 4.4% during such period, as compared to the India pharmaceutical market's growth of 10.0%.

 

*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, 2022 were Rs.13,097 million, an increase of 14% as compared to Rs.11,539 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

*Russia*: Our Global Generics segment's revenues from Russia for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were Rs.6,875 million, an increase of 45% as compared to Rs.4,746 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. In Russian rouble absolute currency terms (i.e., Russian roubles without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues increased by 29%. The increase in revenues was primarily on account of an increase in sales prices of certain of our existing products and increase in volumes of certain of our existing products. Our over-the-counter ("OTC") division's revenues from Russia for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were 48% of our total revenues from Russia.

According to IQVIA, as per its report for the two months ended November 30, 2022, 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 two months ended November 30, 2022** | **For the two months ended November 30, 2022** | **For the two months ended November 30, 2022** | **For the two months ended November 30, 2022** |

| Over-the-counter (OTC) | 6.1% | (4.7%) | (2.3%) | (8.0%) |
| Total (Rx + OTC) | 3.6% | (4.1%) | 0.2% | (6.6%) |

---

*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.2,239 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of 6% as compared to Rs.2,375 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in sales volumes of certain of our existing products and adverse foreign exchange rates, partially offset by an increase in sales prices of certain of our existing products and by additional revenues from new products launched between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022.

 

*"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.3,983 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of 10% as compared to Rs.4,418 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. This decrease was largely attributable to a decrease in the sales volumes of certain of our existing products and a decrease in prices of certain of our existing products, partly offset by additional revenues from new products launched between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 and favourable foreign exchange rates.

 ****

***Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients ("PSAI")***

Our PSAI segment's revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were Rs.7,758 million, an increase of 7% as compared to Rs.7,271 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. In U.S. dollar absolute currency terms (i.e., U.S. dollars without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues decreased by 2% in the three months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. This decrease was largely attributable to the decrease in prices of certain of our existing products.

**Gross Profit**

Our total gross profit was Rs.40,093 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, representing 59.2% of our revenues for that period, as compared to Rs.28,612 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, representing 53.8% of our revenues for that period.

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

| Global Generics | Rs. | 38255 | 64.6% | Rs. | 25731 | 57.8% |
| PSAI |  | 1409 | 18.2% |  | 1638 | 22.5% |

| **Total** | **Rs.** | **40093** | **59.2%** | **Rs.** | **28612** | **53.8%** |

---

The gross profit margin from our Global Generics segment increased to 64.6% of this segment's revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from 57.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. This increase was on account of an increase in contributions from new products having higher gross margins, an increase in the proportion of sales of certain products with higher gross margins and favourable foreign exchange rates. This increase was partially offset by price erosion in certain of our products, primarily in the United States and Europe.

The gross profit margin from our PSAI segment decreased to 18.2% of this segment's revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2022, from 22.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily on account of a higher percentage of manufacturing overhead costs on lower sales base and adverse changes in our product mix.

**Selling, general and administrative expenses**

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were Rs.17,981 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 17% as compared to Rs.15,411 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a 9% increase due to higher personnel costs,
primarily on account of annual raises and foreign exchange rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a 3% increase due to higher sales and marketing
expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a 2% increase due to higher travel and vehicle
expenses; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a 3% increase due to higher other costs

As a proportion of our total revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 26.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from 29.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

**Impairment of non-current assets**

Our impairment of non-current assets charge were Rs.134 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to a charge of Rs.47 million for the three months December 31, 2021 (Refer to Note 8 and Note 10 of the interim financial statements in this report for further details).

**Research and development expenses**

Our research and development expenses were Rs.4,821 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 16% as compared to Rs.4,159 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily on account of higher developmental expenditures on certain projects in our Global Generics and PSAI segments.

As a proportion of our total revenues, our research and development expenses was at 7.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to 7.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

**Other income, net**

Our net other expense was Rs.732 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to net other income of Rs.240 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Net other expense during the three months ended December 31, 2022, included an amount of Rs.991 million (EUR11.36 million) representing the loss on sale of assets, pursuant to an agreement with Delpharm Development Leiden B.V for the transfer of certain assets, liabilities and employees at its site at Leiden, Netherlands.

**Finance income, net**

Our net finance expense was Rs.139 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to net finance income of Rs.289 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. This decrease in net finance income was due to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· profit on sale of investments, and unrealized
gains on investments recorded at fair value through profit and loss, of Rs.245 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as
compared to profit on sale of investments of Rs.26 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· net interest expense of Rs.145 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to net interest income of Rs.47 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· net foreign exchange loss of Rs.239 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to net foreign exchange gain of Rs.216 million for the three months ended December
31, 2021.

**Profit before tax**

As a result of the above, our profit before tax was Rs.16,346 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to Rs.9,709 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

**Tax expense**

Our consolidated weighted average tax rate was 23.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to 27.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

The effective rate of tax for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was lower primarily on account of the changes in our jurisdictional mix of earnings (i.e., an increase in the proportion of our profits from lower tax jurisdictions and decrease in proportion of our profits from higher tax jurisdictions).

Our tax expense was Rs.3,875 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to Rs.2,644 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

**Profit for the period**

As a result of the above, our net profit was Rs.12,471 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, representing 18.4% of our total revenues for such period, as compared to Rs.7,065 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, representing 13.3% of our total revenues for such period.

**Segment Analysis**

 ****

***Global Generics***

Revenues from our Global Generics segment were Rs.159,511 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 20% as compared to Rs.133,052 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. The revenue increase was in all of the four business geographies of this segment: North America (the United States and Canada), Europe, India, 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 foregoing increase in revenues of this segment was attributable to the following factors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an increase of approximately 25% resulting from
new products launched during the period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an increase of approximately 3% resulting from
foreign exchange rate gains;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an increase of approximately 1% resulting from
a net increase in the sales volumes of existing products in this segment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the foregoing was partially offset by a decrease
of approximately 8% resulting from the net impact of changes in sales prices of the products in this segment.

 

*North America (the United States and Canada):* Our Global Generics segment's revenues from North America (the United States and Canada) were Rs.76,383 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 39% as compared to Rs.54,944 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. 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 30% in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, we launched 19 new products in North America (the United States and Canada). We launched 17 new products in the United States, which are ketorolac, OTC nicotine lozenges original, methylprednisolone sodium succinate, pemetrexed injection, posaconazole tablet, sorafenib, lenalidomide capsules, fesoterodine fumarate tablets, bortezomib inj 3.5mg, neostigmine PFS, potassium chloride UD, fexofenadine HCl + pseudoephedrine HCl ER tablets, desmopressin MDV, OTC guaifenesin ER, fingolimod capsules, thiotepa 100 mg injection and biorphen injection. We also launched two new products in Canada, which are pemetrexed and oxaliplatin.

 

*Europe*: Our Global Generics segment's revenues from Europe were Rs.12,644 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 4% as compared to Rs.12,187 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against the European Euro and Great Britain's Pound sterling, this increase was largely attributable to an increase in the sales volumes of certain of our existing products and to certain new products launched, partly offset by a decrease in prices of certain of our existing products.

 

*India*: Our Global Generics segment's revenues from India were Rs.36,113 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 12% as compared to Rs.32,268 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, we launched nine new brands in India.

According to IQVIA in its Moving Annual Total report for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, our secondary sales in India grew by 2.5% during such period, as compared to the India pharmaceutical market's growth of 6.5%.

*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, 2022 were Rs.34,371 million, an increase of 2% as compared to Rs.33,653 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

 

*Russia*: Our Global Generics segment's revenues from Russia for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 were Rs.16,036 million, an increase of 14% as compared to Rs.14,015 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. In Russian rouble absolute currency terms (i.e., Russian roubles without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues increased by 5%. Our OTC division's revenues from Russia for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 were 49% of our total revenues from Russia.

According to IQVIA, as per its report for the eight months ended November 30, 2022, our sales value growth (in Russian roubles) and volume growth from Russia, as compared to the Russian pharmaceutical market, was as follows:

| Total (Rx + OTC) | **6.1%** | **(0.3** **%)** | **4.9%** | **(3.4** **%)** |

*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.6,315 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 5% as compared to Rs.5,987 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

 

*"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.12,020 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of 12% as compared to Rs.13,651 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

***Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients ("PSAI")***

Our PSAI segment's revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 were Rs.21,282 million, a decrease of 8% as compared to Rs.23,183 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. 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 decrease was largely attributable to a decrease in sales volumes and prices of some our existing products, partially offset by the contribution from new products launched.

**Gross Profit**

Our total gross profit was Rs.103,347 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, representing 56.5% of our revenues for that period, as compared to Rs.85,097 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, representing 53.2% of our revenues for that period.

---

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 increased to 62.2% of this segment's revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, from 57.5% for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. This increase was on account of increase in the proportion of certain new product sales with higher gross margins, manufacturing incentives and favorable changes in our product mix. This increase was partially offset by price erosion in certain of our products, primarily in our generic markets.

The gross profit margin from our PSAI segment decreased to 12.9% of this segment's revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, from 23.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily on account of certain inventory write-down provisions, higher percentage of manufacturing overhead costs on a lower sales base and adverse changes in our product mix.

**Selling, general and administrative expenses**

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were Rs.50,034 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 8% as compared to Rs.46,407 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a 7% increase due to higher personnel costs,
primarily on account of annual raises and foreign exchange rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a 2% increase due to higher sales and marketing
expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a 2% increase due to higher travel and vehicle
expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a 2% increase due to higher freight costs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the foregoing was partly offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a 3% decrease due to lower royalty fees; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a 2% decrease due to lower legal and professional expenses.

As a proportion of our total revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses were 27.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to 29.0% for the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

**Impairment of non-current assets**

Our impairment of non-current assets expense charge were Rs.159 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to a charge of Rs.47 million for the nine months December 31, 2021. (Refer to Note 8 and Note 10 of the interim financial statements in this report for further details).

**Research and development expenses**

Our research and development costs were Rs.14,015 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 7% as compared to Rs.13,156 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily on account of higher developmental expenditure on certain projects for our biosimilars, generics and new chemical entities ("NCEs") pipeline.

As a proportion of our total revenues, our research and development expenses was at 7.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to 8.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

The other income was higher for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 primarily on account of recognition of income of Rs. 5,638 million (U.S.$71.39 million discounted to present value) from a settlement agreement, with Indivior Inc., Indivior UK Limited, and Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc., resolving all claims between the parties relating to the generic buprenorphine and naloxone sublingual film, 2 mg/0.5 mg, 4 mg/1 mg, 8 mg/2 mg, and 12 mg/3 mg dosages.

Our net finance income was Rs.2,054 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to Rs.1,260 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. This increase in net finance income was due to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· profit on sale of investments, and unrealized
gains on investments recorded at fair value through profit and loss, of Rs.323 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, as
compared to profit on sale of investments of Rs.243 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021;
