Indian drugmaker Cipla's Q1 profit misses estimates July 23 (Reuters) - Cipla CIPL.NS, one of India's largest drugmakers by revenue, reported a bigger-than-expected 39.2% fall in first-quarter profit, its third consecutive quarterly decline, as muted sales of generic cancer drugs and supply disruptions affecting lanreotide, a treatment for rare tumors, weighed on its U.S. business.
The company's consolidated net profit fell to 7.89 billion rupees ($81.73 million) in the quarter ended June 30. Analysts, on average, had expected profit at 8.17 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG.
