Glenmark Pharmaceuticals too reported its results for the quarter ended December 2015. The net sales for the quarter grew at slower pace and were up by just 4.53%. The sales growth was largely driven by US market. However, the devaluation of currencies across emerging markets have adversely impacted their topline growth in certain geographies such as Russia, Latin America and Africa. The company's revenue from Latin America and Caribbean operations declined by 47.2% to Rs 1.2 billion mainly on account of currency devaluation. Inspite of this, the company's net profits grew by 48.3% YoY to Rs 1.7 billion. The robust bottom line growth was largely on the back of lower operating expenses & finance costs.

Going forward, the company expects geographies such as India, US and Europe to drive the topline growth for the company.
