Gujarat Themis Biosyn Limited (GTBL) has announced an investor presentation detailing the asset purchase of Sanofi's global Anti-TB and Anti-Infective portfolio. This strategic acquisition, valued at approximately €158 Million, is structured as an asset acquisition involving brands, marketing authorizations, dossiers, and inventory, excluding manufacturing facilities and employees.
The acquired portfolio generated approximately €62 Million in revenue in FY 2025 and has a reach of over 55 countries, with a strong presence in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Key molecules include Levofloxacin, Rifampicin, and Rifapentine. The deal is funded by a mix of debt and equity and is subject to antitrust and foreign direct investment approvals.

This acquisition is expected to be EPS accretive and improve the company's margin profile through API integration and cost optimization.
Dr. Sachin Patel, Managing Director of GTBL, stated that this acquisition is a strategic milestone, enabling GTBL to evolve into a high-margin, fermentation-based pharmaceutical platform with a global footprint. The company plans to unlock post-closing value through high-burden market expansion, lifecycle management, reactivation of dormant marketing authorizations, leveraging the distribution network, and portfolio optimization.
