GlaxoSmithKline Pharma Q4 results 2022: GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals on Monday reported a Rs 55 crore consolidated net loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter.

The drug firm had reported a net profit of Rs 4 crore for the January-March quarter of the 2020-21 fiscal.

Revenue from operation last fiscal increased to Rs 3,278 crore from Rs 2,926 crore in 2020-21.

"During the year, our general medicines portfolio continued to gain market share in their respective categories. Our execution focus on key brands helped us revitalise growth, particularly in the anti-infectives, dermatology and pain segments," GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Managing Director Sridhar Venkatesh said.

While the company's vaccines business was impacted due to low vaccination rates, many of the key brands gained share in a declining market, fuelled by disciplined execution, he added.

"We continue to maintain market leadership in the private vaccines market," Venkatesh noted.

During the quarter, the company concluded the transfer of Iodex and Ostocalcium brands to GlaxoSmithKline Asia, as part of GSK plc's plans to create two world-class companies in pharmaceuticals and consumer healthcare, he stated.
