Sanofi India Limited has released the transcript of its Investor/Analysts Call held on February 26, 2026, concerning the Financial Results Update for the Quarter and Year ended December 31, 2025. The call featured insights from Managing Director Deepak Arora, Whole-Time Director and CFO Rachid Ayari, and Company Secretary Haresh Vala.
Mr. Arora highlighted Sanofi India's transformation journey, focusing on modernizing its business model to achieve sustainable and profitable growth. This includes becoming an R&D-driven, AI-enabled biopharma organization with a patient-centric approach. The company aims to grow its legacy portfolio in cardiovascular (CV), central nervous system (CNS), and oral antidiabetic agents through partnerships. He noted that domestic sales were flat for 2025, with a 1% profit before tax driven by business and operational efficiency. The diabetes franchise, particularly Lantus and Toujeo, showed strong performance, with Lantus maintaining market leadership in the basal segment. The company is also focusing on expanding its reach in the public sector and leveraging digital initiatives for market expansion.
Financially, Mr. Ayari explained that total income is primarily from sales, with other operating income related to services that have seen a reduction due to changes with Consumer Health and partnership agreements. Domestic sales for 2025 were ₹1,511 crore, with diabetes contributing significantly and showing an 11% growth in the quarter. Partnership sales saw a 2% decrease year-on-year due to stock movements and frozen periods, with additional impact from gross-to-net adjustments for oral antidiabetic agents. Export sales experienced a significant drop, as anticipated, following the divestment of the Ankleshwar site. Operating expenses, particularly employee costs, were reduced by 17% in the quarter and full year, reflecting strategic efficiencies. Profit before tax showed a 1% increase for the full year, despite a significant drop in the quarter attributed to phasing and top-line impacts. A dividend proposal of a 5% increase over 2024 was recommended, with an earnings per share of ₹142 and a proposed dividend per share of ₹123.
The management discussed future strategies, including focusing on the diabetes and insulin segments, cardiovascular, and CNS. They reiterated that while new therapeutic areas are not currently planned for the listed company, they are evaluating opportunities. The company is also working on bringing a reusable pen for Soliqua to the market in the coming years. It was also clarified that fluctuations in partnership sales are expected to continue in 2026 due to stock replenishment cycles, but the underlying business is growing as per expectations.
