The rating continues to factor in RPGLS’s strong brands in the Indian pharmaceutical industry, its diversified and integrated operations with presence in regulated markets, and financial flexibility arising from being part of the RPG Group. While the domestic formulations business witnessed a revenue degrowth of ~13% in FY2019, on account of challenges faced in its acute business due to market slowdown in the represented segments and high inventory levels in the secondary market, the company reported ~23% revenue growth in H1 FY2020. This was supported by a good monsoon, low base effect and initiatives undertaken by the company, such as renewed focus on legacy brands and product portfolio augmentation. Consequently, there was an overall YoY revenue growth of ~13% in H1 FY2020. ICRA also notes the improvement in the company’s operating profit margin (OPM) in H1 FY2020 to ~17% over ~9% in H1 FY2019.

Right from the time it is a little sapling taking its first peek into the world, to when it turns into a full-fledged tree, its flowers and leaves providing relief and respite to the weary traveller? That, in a nutshell, is growth. Growth is progress. Growth is development. Growth is transformation. So whether it is the human mind, the power of innovation and creative energy, or the sheer size and scale of a gigantic corporation, growth is that central energy on which the world moves forward. It is one of the very few things which are limitless, because human intelligence, spirit and wonder know no limits. Growth is powered by imagination and the spirit to dream. The spirit of enterprise and the will to tread a path different from the road less travelled are fuelled by that desire to grow, just like the sapling which reaches out for the warmth of the first rays of the sun.
