Zydus Wellness reported 78% on-year increase in total expenses to INR 12.79 billion, driven by a sharp rise in purchases of stock-in-trade, advertisement and promotion expenses, and other expenses.

Zydus reported depreciation and amortisation expenses of INR 571 million, which includes amortisation of acquired brands at INR 490 million. The finance costs jumped almost 10 times on year to INR 263 million, due to higher interest expenses on euro-denominated loan. The company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation rose 55.3% on year to INR 2.42 billion for the June quarter.

Zydus Wellness's gross margin expanded significantly to 65.5% for the June quarter, up 1,071 basis points, supported by the higher margin in the Comfort Click business. The company reported a double-digit revenue growth across key segments including Sugar Free, Everyuth, Glucon-D, and Nutralite.
