GLENMARK RACING AHEAD WITH APPROVALS /LICENCING ACTIVITIES


Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited

RACING AHEAD OF MANY COMPETITORS

As of this moment, Glenmark is yet to declare its 4th quarter  and annual results for FY10. However, in recent past, Glenmark has been securing several approvals for marketing /licensing several generics / drugs etc in various countries. These are being noticed by market with interest.

These point to a bright future for Glenmark in the days to come.

In the last 3 quarters, its Basic EPS on a face value of Rs.1 has been  5.25 for HY/E Sep 09 and  3.42 for q/e Dec 09 on consolidated basis.

Glenmark may very well improve on this in each succeeding quarter hereafter - judging from the progress it is making in securing various approvals in various countries and in marketing and Licesning activities.
