Arun Kumar, Group CEO and Managing Director, remarked, “
The financial year 2017-18 was a difficult year for Strides. While we continue to build momentum with our strategy, our execution was far from satisfactory. We completed several of our corporate actions including exiting non-core operations and markets that did not add value to our overall goal of being a diversified B2C player globally”
“We are particularly happy with the strategic progression at Arrow in Australia to become a leading and a profitable player. We are geared for a combination with Apotex to create an industry-leading position in Australia both by value and volume. We expect the transaction to achieve closure in the next two-quarters subject to regulatory approvals.”
“In 2018-19 our clear focus will be on the improving the quality of growth which will deliver a strong bounce back in the second half of FY 19”
