Sun Pharmaceutical Industries and certain of its subsidiaries have been defendants in antitrust litigation in the United States relating to a 2008 patent litigation settlement agreement with Pfizer concerning generic Lipitor (Atorvastatin).
Plaintiffs alleged that the settlement unlawfully delayed generic competition for Lipitor and that absent the unlawful settlement, Lipitor would have entered the market earlier than it did.
The matter has been disclosed from time to time in the Company's financial statements.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has affirmed the order of the United States District Court granting summary judgment in its entirety in favour of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Appellate Court has also affirmed the District Court's orders denying class certification as to the plaintiffs.
This decision represents a significant favourable development for the Company and its subsidiaries in the matter, and brings the litigation substantially to a close, subject to any further remedies that may be available to the plaintiffs under applicable law.
The plaintiffs had alleged that the settlement unlawfully delayed generic competition and that, without the agreement, generic Lipitor would have entered the US market earlier.
The US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has now affirmed the District Court’s summary judgment in its entirety in favour of Sun Pharma and its subsidiaries, while also upholding the District Court’s denial of class certification to the plaintiffs.
'This decision represents a significant favourable development for the Company and its subsidiaries in the matter, and brings the litigation substantially to a close, subject to any further remedies that may be available to the plaintiffs under applicable law,' Sun Pharma said in a statement.
As per media reports, the ruling is significant because the litigation had remained a long-standing legal overhang following Sun Pharma’s acquisition of Ranbaxy in 2014.
The Third Circuit’s decision effectively removes the principal claims against Sun Pharma in this matter, the reports added.
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries is engaged in the business of manufacturing, developing and marketing a wide range of branded and generic formulations and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The company and its subsidiaries has various manufacturing facilities spread across the world, with trading and other incidental and related activities extending to the global market. It is the largest pharmaceutical company in India.
The company had reported a 27.04% jump in consolidated net profit to Rs 2,894.79 crore for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 (Q1 FY27), compared with Rs 2,278.63 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. Revenue from sales climbed 10.14% YoY to Rs 15,183.55 crore in Q1 FY27.

Profit before exceptional items and tax rose 7.82% to Rs 4,302.90 crore from Rs 3,990.77 crore a year earlier. The company reported exceptional items of Rs 204.09 crore during the quarter, including a charge of Rs 167 crore towards due diligence, legal, filing and other transaction-related expenses incurred for the proposed acquisition of Organon & Co. Sun Pharma said additional acquisition-related costs are expected in the coming quarters.

In the United States, formulation sales declined 9.7% year-on-year to $427 million, as growth in the Innovative Medicines portfolio was partly offset by weakness in the generics business. The US business accounted for around 26.6% of consolidated sales.
Emerging Markets formulation sales rose 4.2% to $311 million, contributing 19.4% of total consolidated sales, while formulation sales in the Rest of the World stood at $218 million, accounting for 13.6% of consolidated sales.

Research and development expenditure stood at Rs 826.4 crore, representing 5.4% of sales.
Kirti Ganorkar, managing director, said, “Our performance during the quarter was driven by strong momentum in India as well as Innovative Medicines, which delivered robust growth across the U.S. and international regions. Recent semaglutide approvals in India, Brazil and South Africa underscore our capabilities in developing complex peptide products for patients globally. Organon shareholders have approved the proposed acquisition by Sun, which is on track to close in early 2027.”
